Our Take

Victor Feldman may not be a household name, but his influence in the jazz world is undeniable. With Four Classic Albums, listeners are treated to a delightful mix of bebop, cool jazz, and everything in between.

First up is "The Arrival of Victor Feldman," a 1958 gem that showcases Feldman's impeccable piano skills and tasteful compositions. The album kicks off with the catchy "Bloke's Blues," a toe-tapping number that sets the tone for the rest of the record.

Next, we have "Transatlantic Alliance," a collaboration with American saxophonist Jimmy Cleveland. The chemistry between the two musicians is palpable, especially on tracks like "Feathers" and "Invitation."

"Latinsville!" sees Feldman delving into Latin jazz territory, with infectious rhythms and fiery percussion. Standout tracks include the sultry "Midnight Safari" and the energetic "Siesta."

Finally, "Suite Sixteen" takes listeners on a journey through Feldman's diverse influences, from bossa nova to modal jazz. The album closes with the hauntingly beautiful "The Gypsy."

Overall, Four Classic Albums is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. With Feldman's unmatched skill and a lineup of top-notch musicians, this compilation is a true testament to the timeless quality of his music. So grab a drink, sit back, and let Victor Feldman's music transport you to a world of pure jazz bliss.
