Our Take

If there's one thing Al Hirt knows how to do, it's blow a trumpet. And blow he does on his latest album, "Greatest Trumpet Hits Of All Time." This record is a veritable smorgasbord of brass-tastic delights, with Hirt's iconic horn taking center stage on every track.

From the toe-tapping swing of "Java" to the soul-stirring melancholy of "I Can't Get Started," Hirt's trumpet skills are on full display here. His tone is as bright and crisp as a freshly popped bag of kettle corn, and his agility on the instrument is nothing short of mind-boggling.

But what really sets this album apart is Hirt's ability to infuse each track with his own unique brand of charm and humour. Whether he's tackling a classic standard or a contemporary pop hit, Hirt's playful spirit shines through, making even the most sombre tunes feel like a raucous party.

So if you're in the mood for some musical escapism, look no further than Al Hirt's "Greatest Trumpet Hits Of All Time." It's a rollicking good time from start to finish, and a reminder that sometimes all you need is a little trumpet magic to put a smile on your face. Cheers to you, Al Hirt, you cheeky brass maestro!
