Our Take

Ah, the Poll Winners. Not just winners of polls, but winners of hearts. This trio of Barney Kessel, Shelly Manne, and Ray Brown is an absolute powerhouse of talent. And now, with their compilation of four classic albums, they are here to snatch our ears and never let go.

From the first note of "Poll Winners" to the last riff of "Poll Winners Ride Again", this collection takes you on a journey through the golden age of jazz. Kessel's smooth guitar, Manne's impeccable drumming, and Brown's solid bass all come together in perfect harmony.

One might think that an album called "The Poll Winners Three!" would be a bit egotistical. But fear not, dear listener, for this trio is as humble as they are talented. Each track oozes with precision and soul, making it impossible not to tap your foot along.

And let's not forget about "Exploring the Scene" and "The Poll Winners Straight Ahead". These albums showcase the range and versatility of this dynamic trio. From laid-back ballads to fast-paced bangers, there is something for everyone in this collection.

In conclusion, the Poll Winners have truly outdone themselves with this compilation. It's a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast, and a perfect introduction for those new to the genre. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let the Poll Winners take you on a musical adventure you won't soon forget.
