Our Take

Ah, the MCNEIL JOHN QUINTET's latest offering, "Embarkation." This album is like a musical rollercoaster, taking listeners on a wild ride of jazz fusion and experimental sounds. From the moment you press play, you are catapulted into a world where saxophones wail, drums thunder, and pianos dance merrily in the background.

The opening track, "Jazz Odyssey," sets the tone for the entire album with its frenetic energy and complex melodies. It's like being thrown into a whirlwind of musical brilliance, where every instrument shines brightly and takes its turn in the spotlight.

But don't be fooled by the avant-garde nature of this album. Tracks like "Smooth Sailing" and "Groove Machine" offer up catchy hooks and infectious rhythms that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time.

The MCNEIL JOHN QUINTET have truly outdone themselves with "Embarkation." It's a musical journey unlike any other, a swirling vortex of sound that will leave you breathless and begging for more. So sit back, relax, and let the music take you on a ride you won't soon forget. This album is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado or music lover looking for something a little bit different. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
