Our Take

If you’re in the mood for some toe-tappin’, head-boppin’ jazz, look no further than Pee Wee Russell’s Four Classic Albums Plus. This collection is like a time machine taking you back to the smoky, dimly lit clubs of yesteryear, where the music was hot, the drinks were cold, and the clarinet reigned supreme.

First up, we have Jazz At Storyville Vol 1, a rollicking romp through some of Russell’s most iconic tunes. From the swinging rhythms of “Swingin’ With Pee Wee” to the soulful melodies of “Blues For Pres, Sweets, Ben, And All The Other Funky Ones,” this album is a masterclass in classic jazz.

Next, we have Jazz At Storyville Vol 2, which picks up right where its predecessor left off. Russell’s clarinet skills are on full display here, with solos that will make your jaw drop and your feet start to shuffle.

Portrait Of Pee Wee is a more introspective affair, with Russell delving deep into his musical soul to deliver some truly haunting performances. Tracks like “Lonely Moments” and “Mood Indigo” showcase Russell’s emotional range and his ability to connect with his audience on a personal level.

Finally, Pee Wee Russell Plays is a fitting end to this stunning collection, with Russell taking on jazz standards like “St. James Infirmary” and “All The Things You Are” with his signature style and flair. This album is a must-have for any jazz aficionado, so don’t sleep on it!

About the artist

Pee Wee Russell

PEE WEE RUSSELL may not be a household name for Gen Z-ers, but for those in the know, this jazz legend is a force to be reckoned with. Born in 1906 (yes, you read that right!) in Maplewood, Missouri, Russell began his career playing clarinet at the ripe old age of 15. Fast forward a few decades, and he's sharing the stage with the likes of Louis Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke. Known for his unique playing style, Russell's improvisational skills are second to none. With a sound that can only be described as avant-garde meets Dixieland, he's a true innovator in the world of jazz. And let's not forget his iconic fashion sense - with his trademark pork pie hat and oversized glasses, Russell was the epitome of cool before cool was even a thing. But don't let his eccentricities fool you - Pee Wee Russell is a serious musician. His ability to bend notes and push the boundaries of traditional jazz has earned him a reputation as one of the greats. And his influence can still be heard in the music of today's artists, from Kamasi Washington to Thundercat. So next time you're in the mood for some boundary-pushing jazz, give Pee Wee Russell a spin. You won't be disappointed - this guy truly is a musical maverick.
