Our Take

Earl Bostic, the man with the magic flute, serves up a delightful mix of soulful jazz on his latest compilation, "Four Classic Albums." Bostic's smooth saxophone skills are on full display throughout this album, transporting listeners to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New York City.

The opening track, "Flute Suite," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious groove and irresistible melodies. Bostic's masterful improvisation shines through on tracks like "Cherokee" and "Harlem Nocturne," showcasing his undeniable talent as a musician.

But it's not all smooth sailing on this album - Bostic isn't afraid to shake things up with the energetic and unpredictable "Tiger Rag." It's a rollercoaster of a track that keeps listeners on their toes and proves that Bostic is more than just a one-trick pony.

Overall, "Four Classic Albums" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking to expand their musical horizons. Earl Bostic's timeless sound is as fresh and exciting today as it was when these albums were first released. So grab a glass of whiskey, sit back, and let yourself be transported to a world of smooth jazz and infectious rhythms with Earl Bostic.
