Our Take

Alex Welsh & His Band's latest release, "Echoes Of Chicago", is a delightful romp through the sounds of traditional jazz with a British twist. This album is like a good cup of tea - comforting, familiar, but with a little kick to keep things interesting.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in 1950s London, with Alex Welsh leading the charge on trumpet. His bandmates provide solid support, with tight rhythms and smooth melodies that will have you tapping your toes in no time.

The standout track on this album has to be "Swinging in Soho", a lively number that perfectly encapsulates the energy and vibrancy of the jazz scene in post-war Britain. Welsh's trumpet playing shines on this track, delivering bright, crisp tones that will have you reaching for your dancing shoes.

However, not every track on "Echoes Of Chicago" is a hit. Some of the slower, more laid-back numbers can feel a bit lacklustre and uninspired, leaving you longing for the infectious energy of the more upbeat tracks.

Overall, Alex Welsh & His Band have delivered a solid effort with "Echoes Of Chicago". While it may not revolutionize the jazz scene, it's a fun and enjoyable romp through a bygone era. So pour yourself a cuppa, sit back, and let the sounds of Alex Welsh transport you to a simpler time. Cheers!
