Our Take

Jazz for cocktails? More like Jazz for mocktails, am I right? But don't let the title fool you, this compilation album is anything but watered down. Featuring jazz legends like Getz, Gilberto, Coltrane, Ramsey Lewis, Shearing, and Brubeck, this collection is a cocktail of smooth and sophisticated sounds that will transport you to a dimly lit jazz club in 1960s New York.

The album kicks off with the iconic bossa nova track "Desafinado" by Getz and Gilberto, setting the tone for what's to come. The sultry vocals and dreamy guitar melodies will have you swaying in your seat, cocktail in hand, feeling like the epitome of cool.

Coltrane's rendition of "My Favorite Things" is a standout, with his signature saxophone stylings taking the classic tune to new heights. Ramsey Lewis and George Shearing bring their own unique flair to the mix, adding depth and complexity to the overall sound.

And let's not forget about Brubeck's "Take Five," a jazz standard that never fails to impress. The intricate time signatures and dynamic solos make this track a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast.

So grab yourself a martini, light up a cigar (or don't, because smoking is bad for you), and let Jazz for Cocktails 3 whisk you away to a bygone era of sophistication and style. Cheers!

About the artist

Various Artists

Getz/Gilberto are the epitome of smooth, suave bossa nova vibes. With Stan Getz's silky saxophone and Joao Gilberto's velvety vocals, their collaboration brought Brazilian jazz to the forefront of the international music scene in the 1960s. Their timeless album, "Getz/Gilberto," featuring the iconic track "The Girl from Ipanema," continues to delight listeners and inspire musicians to this day. Coltrane, the legendary saxophonist, was a trailblazer in the world of jazz. His innovative sounds and boundary-pushing compositions revolutionized the genre, earning him a place among the all-time greats. With albums like "A Love Supreme" and "Giant Steps," Coltrane's music remains a vital source of inspiration for musicians across all genres. Ramsey Lewis is the epitome of cool, blending jazz, R&B, and soul into a smooth and soulful sound. With hits like "The 'In' Crowd" and "Wade in the Water," Lewis brought a fresh, contemporary edge to jazz music in the 1960s. His infectious grooves and dynamic piano playing continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Shearing, the British jazz pianist, brought a unique and innovative approach to jazz music. Blind from birth, Shearing developed a distinctive sound that blended swing, bebop, and classical influences. With his iconic quintet, Shearing produced a string of successful albums and performances that solidified his status as a jazz legend. Brubeck, the iconic jazz pianist and composer, was a true visionary in the world of jazz. With his groundbreaking experiments in time signatures and polyrhythms, Brubeck pushed the boundaries of the genre and paved the way for future generations of musicians. His classic album "Time Out," featuring the hit track "Take Five," remains a seminal work in the jazz canon.
