Our Take

Ah, Dave Pell - the unsung hero of the jazz world. This album, Four Classic Albums, is a delightful collection that showcases Pell's undeniable talent and versatility. From the smooth saxophone solos to the infectious rhythms, each track is a true testament to Pell's expertise in the genre.

The first album, "The Dave Pell Octet Plays Irving Berlin in 1953," is a delightful romp through some of Berlin's most iconic tunes. Pell's arrangements breathe new life into these classic songs, making them feel fresh and exciting once again. Tracks like "Cheek to Cheek" and "Blue Skies" are standout moments that will have you tapping your feet in no time.

Next up, we have "Love Story" from 1955, a more laid-back and introspective album that showcases Pell's sensitive side. The title track is a poignant and heartfelt ballad that will tug at your heartstrings, while tracks like "You Go to My Head" and "Embraceable You" are perfect for a late-night candlelit dinner.

Moving on to "The Dave Pell Octet Plays Rodgers & Hart in 1956," we see Pell's masterful interpretation of some of the duo's most beloved compositions. Tracks like "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" and "My Funny Valentine" are reimagined in Pell's signature style, with each note ringing out beautifully.

Finally, we have "Plays Gerhswin in 1957," a lively and spirited album that showcases Pell's playful side. Tracks like "I Got Rhythm" and "Someone to Watch Over Me" are delivered with a sense of joy and exuberance that is infectious.

Overall, Four Classic Albums is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. Dave Pell's talent and passion shine through in every note, making this album a true gem in his discography.
