Our Take

Jimmy Giuffre's "Four Classic Albums Plus" is a delightful trip down jazz memory lane, showcasing the versatile talent of the legendary saxophonist and clarinetist.

On "Jimmy Giuffre," his self-titled album, Giuffre displays his flair for blending traditional jazz with avant-garde elements, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly original. Tracks like "The Lonely Time" and "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" highlight Giuffre's melodic prowess and inventive improvisational skills.

"Tangents In Jazz" sees Giuffre pushing boundaries even further, experimenting with different time signatures and tonalities to create a truly unique listening experience. The album's standout track, "The Train and the River," is a masterclass in musical storytelling, with Giuffre's haunting clarinet melodies painting a vivid picture of a journey through the American heartland.

The Jimmy Giuffre 3's eponymous album is a tour de force of musical collaboration, with Giuffre's impeccable clarinet playing complemented by the dynamic rhythm section of bassist Ralph Peña and drummer Artie Anton. Tracks like "The Green Country" and "Pickin' 'Em Up and Layin' 'Em Down" showcase the trio's telepathic interplay and boundless creativity.

Finally, "Historic Jazz Concert At Music Inn" captures Giuffre in his element, performing live at the iconic Music Inn in Lenox, Massachusetts. The album's raw energy and infectious enthusiasm make it a must-listen for any jazz aficionado, with tracks like "The Train and the River" and "Four Brothers" showcasing Giuffre's unparalleled skill as a performer and bandleader. Overall, "Four Classic Albums Plus" is a treasure trove of musical gems that will delight fans old and new alike.
