Our Take

Ah, Red Norvo, the xylophone virtuoso who's been tickling our musical fancy for decades. This box set brings together four classic albums from the heyday of jazz, showcasing Norvo's innovative approach to the instrument and his impeccable sense of swing.

First up, we have "Red Norvo with Strings," where Norvo's delicate touch on the xylophone is beautifully complemented by lush string arrangements. Tracks like "Blues for Moderates" and "Dance of the Octopus" transport you to a smoky lounge where sophistication meets groove.

Next, we dive into "Red Norvo in Hi-Fi," a collection of quintessential Norvo tracks that showcase his mastery of improvisation and his ability to make the xylophone sing. From the infectious bounce of "Jivin' the Vibes" to the introspective beauty of "In a Mist," Norvo proves that he's a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz.

Moving on to "Red Norvo and Friends," we see Norvo collaborating with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Benny Goodman, Charlie Parker, and Stan Getz. The chemistry between these legendary musicians is palpable, resulting in a series of electrifying performances that will leave you breathless.

Lastly, we have "Red Norvo with the Three Flats," a live recording that captures Norvo at the height of his powers. From the frantic energy of "Lady Be Good" to the tender beauty of "Embraceable You," Norvo's xylophone prowess shines brightly, proving once again why he's a true jazz icon.

In conclusion, this box set is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. Red Norvo's innovative approach to the xylophone, his impeccable sense of swing, and his stellar collaborations make these albums a joy to listen to. Grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Red Norvo take you on a musical
