Our Take

Ah, the BEN LEE QUINTET In The Tree, a jazzy exploration that feels like taking a walk through a whimsical forest filled with musical delights. Ben Lee, the eccentric bandleader, brings together an eclectic group of musicians to create a sound that is both playful and sophisticated.

The album kicks off with "Into the Woods," a toe-tapping ode to the beauty of nature that sets the stage for the rest of the tracks. Lee's whimsical melodies and intricate arrangements keep listeners on their toes, never quite sure where the music will take them next.

The standout track, "Swinging Branches," is a lively romp through a jazz-infused landscape, with each member of the quintet shining in their own right. The interplay between the saxophonist and pianist is particularly noteworthy, as they play off of each other with a playful energy that is infectious.

Throughout the album, Lee's unique vision shines through, creating a world that is both familiar and thrillingly strange. From the haunting ballad "Moonlit Clearing" to the explosive energy of "Thunderstorm Jam," each track takes the listener on a journey through the musical landscape that Lee has created.

In The Tree is a triumph of creativity and ingenuity, showcasing the BEN LEE QUINTET at their most adventurous and captivating. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be transported to a world where the trees are alive with the sound of music.
