Our Take

The John Heward Quintet's self-titled album is a delightful whirlwind of jazz, showcasing the band's knack for experimentation and improvisation. Heward's drumming is a highlight, providing a steady backbone for the group's playful melodies to dance around. The album kicks off with "Groove Time," a funky number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The band doesn't stick to one particular style, effortlessly moving from laid-back jazz ballads to more frenetic, avant-garde compositions.

On tracks like "Swingin' in the Rain" and "Bop Til You Drop," the quintet's chemistry is palpable, each member seamlessly weaving in and out of each other's musical ideas. Heward's drum solos are particularly impressive, showcasing his technical prowess and dynamic range. The album's production is slick and polished, allowing each instrument to shine through without overpowering the others.

Overall, the John Heward Quintet's debut album is a breath of fresh air in the jazz world, a playful and inventive collection of songs that will appeal to both die-hard jazz fans and casual listeners alike. With its infectious grooves and expert musicianship, this is one album that deserves a spot in your music collection.
