Our Take

In the swirling vortex of jazz, where musicians strive to push the boundaries of improvisation and innovation, the JO FOOKS AL NICHOLLS QUINTET's latest offering, "Just You Just Me," stands out like a brightly-colored parakeet in a sea of pigeons.

From the first notes of the opening track, it's clear that this quintet is not content to simply regurgitate the standards of yesteryear. Instead, they take familiar tunes like "Autumn Leaves" and "Stella by Starlight" and give them a fresh, modern twist that will leave even the most jaded jazz aficionado tapping their toes in delight.

Saxophonist Jo Fooks leads the charge with her smooth, effortless playing, effortlessly gliding through complex chord changes and weaving intricate melodies that will leave you breathless. Al Nicholls' piano playing is equally impressive, providing a solid foundation for the rest of the band to build upon.

But what truly sets the JO FOOKS AL NICHOLLS QUINTET apart from their peers is their infectious sense of joy and camaraderie. Each member of the band clearly delights in the opportunity to play with one another, and their chemistry shines through in every note.

So if you're looking for an album that will transport you to a world of pure musical bliss, look no further than "Just You Just Me." With its irresistible charm and undeniable talent, it's a must-have for any jazz lover's collection. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
