Our Take

Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra's latest album, "Invitation", is a swinging, toe-tapping extravaganza that will have you reaching for your dancing shoes quicker than you can say "jazz hands." This dynamic ensemble brings together some of the finest jazz musicians in the Rocky Mountain region, creating a sound that is as refreshing as a mountain breeze and as smooth as a glass of Colorado craft beer.

From the opening track, "Take the 'A' Train", to the closing number, "Mood Indigo", the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra showcases their impeccable musicianship and infectious energy. The arrangements are tight, the solos are electrifying, and the overall vibe is pure jazz perfection. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a casual listener looking to expand your musical horizons, "Invitation" has something for everyone.

Standout tracks include the lively rendition of Duke Ellington's "Caravan", which features some killer trumpet solos, and the sultry take on "My Funny Valentine", with its lush saxophone harmonies. The album also features some lesser-known gems, such as the breezy bossa nova groove of "Wave" and the funky New Orleans-inspired "Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans".

In conclusion, "Invitation" is a must-listen for any jazz lover in search of a good time. So grab a cocktail, dim the lights, and let the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra transport you to a place where the music is hot and the vibes are cool. Cheers to that!
