Our Take

Oscar Pettiford and Don Bagley's collaboration on Four Classic Albums is like a quirky musical journey through time. The album kicks off with a jazzy bang, blending Pettiford's smooth bass lines with Bagley's catchy melodies. It's a match made in musical heaven.

Tracks like "Blue Brothers" and "Bass by Pettiford" showcase the duo's undeniable chemistry, with each note perfectly complementing the other. Pettiford's intricate bass work shines through, while Bagley's playful saxophone solos add a touch of whimsy to the mix.

The standout track on the album has to be "Swingin' with Oscar," a lively number that will have you tapping your toes from start to finish. Pettiford's masterful bass playing takes center stage here, with Bagley's saxophone weaving in and out of the melody in perfect harmony.

Overall, Four Classic Albums is a delightful blend of talent, creativity, and pure musical joy. Pettiford and Bagley have created a timeless masterpiece that is sure to please jazz fans of all ages. So gather round, grab a glass of your favourite tipple, and let the music of Pettiford and Bagley transport you to a world of musical wizardry. Cheers to this dynamic duo!
