Our Take

Album Review: TEDDY CHARLES Four Classic Albums

Teddy Charles, the maverick vibes player, has left an indelible mark on the jazz world with his latest collection of re-released classics. Four albums, each distinct in its own right, showcase Charles' unmatched talent and boundary-pushing experimentation.

On "Word from Bird", Charles pays homage to the legendary Charlie Parker with his unique interpretations of the jazz icon's compositions. The vibes serve as a perfect conduit for Charles' exploration of Bird's musical language, adding a fresh perspective to familiar tunes.

"New Directions" sees Charles delving into more avant-garde territory, blending elements of free jazz and world music to create a truly hypnotic listening experience. His mastery of texture and rhythm is on full display here, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both engaging and challenging.

"Salute to Hamp" finds Charles tipping his hat to another vibes pioneer, Lionel Hampton, with a set of swinging, energetic tracks that are sure to get your feet tapping. Charles' playful approach to rhythm and harmony shines through on this album, making it a joy to listen to from start to finish.

Rounding out the collection is "Collaboration West", a collaboration with some of the West Coast's finest jazz musicians. Charles' ability to seamlessly blend his unique sound with the styles of his fellow artists is nothing short of remarkable, resulting in an album that is both cohesive and exciting. Overall, this collection is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to expand their musical horizons.
