Our Take

Ah, Muggsy Spanier, the man, the myth, the legend. Known for his killer trumpet skills and his undeniable charisma, Spanier was a force to be reckoned with in the jazz scene of the 1930s and 40s. Now, thanks to the magic of time travel (or maybe just some seriously dedicated archivists), we are blessed with "Extreme Rarities - The Juke Box Sessions," a collection of some of Spanier's most rare and outrageous recordings.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you can tell that this album is something special. The quality may not be pristine (after all, these recordings are nearly a century old), but that only adds to their charm. Each crackle and hiss only serves to transport you back in time, to a smoky jazz club where Spanier's trumpet blares with the force of a thousand hurricanes.

Tracks like "Hot Lips" and "Rosetta" showcase Spanier's virtuosic playing, while hidden gems like "Lonesome Road" and "Bugle Call Rag" give us a glimpse into the more experimental side of his music. It's like stepping into a time machine and finding yourself in the middle of a raucous speakeasy, with Spanier leading the charge.

So, if you're a fan of jazz, or just a fan of good music in general, do yourself a favour and give "Extreme Rarities - The Juke Box Sessions" a listen. It's a wild ride from start to finish, and one that you won't soon forget. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
