Our Take

Geoff Cole & His Hot Five's latest album "Fats Waller & His Music: A Tribute" is a joyous romp through the classic songs of the legendary jazz pianist. Cole and his band pay homage to Waller's infectious energy and playful spirit, bringing their own unique twist to the iconic tunes.

From the lively piano melodies to the swinging rhythms, this album is a toe-tapping good time from start to finish. Cole's expert musicianship shines through on every track, with his fingers dancing across the keys in a way that would make Fats Waller proud.

The Hot Five's chemistry is undeniable, with each member contributing their own flair to the music. The horn section blares with enthusiasm, the drums keep the beat driving forward, and the bass provides a solid foundation for the rest of the band to build upon.

Standout tracks like "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Honeysuckle Rose" showcase Cole's talent for reinterpreting classic jazz standards with a modern twist. His playful phrasing and witty improvisations breathe new life into these timeless songs, making them feel fresh and exciting once again.

Overall, "Fats Waller & His Music: A Tribute" is a delightful homage to a jazz great, filled with infectious energy and expert musicianship. Geoff Cole & His Hot Five have crafted a loving tribute that is sure to put a smile on your face and a swing in your step.
