Our Take

Kenny Burrell & The West Coast All Stars' "Laguna Beach - Friends Of Jazz" is a groovy, swinging collection of tracks that will transport you straight to the sun-soaked shores of California. With Burrell's smooth guitar licks leading the way, this album is a masterclass in cool jazz that will have you tapping your toes and snapping your fingers in no time.

From the breezy opener "Sunset Serenade" to the funky closer "Ocean Breeze", each track on this album is a little slice of musical paradise. The West Coast All Stars bring their A-game, with tight horn arrangements and lively percussion that perfectly complement Burrell's laid-back style. It's the kind of music that makes you want to grab a cocktail, kick back in a deck chair, and watch the sun sink below the horizon.

But don't be fooled by the relaxed vibe - there's plenty of talent on display here. Burrell's guitar work is impeccable, effortlessly switching between mellow chords and fiery solos with ease. The other members of the band hold their own as well, with standout performances from saxophonist Stan Getz and drummer Shelly Manne.

Overall, "Laguna Beach - Friends Of Jazz" is a must-listen for any jazz lover looking for a taste of the West Coast sound. So grab your sunglasses, cue up this album, and let the music transport you to a sunnier place - even if just for a little while. Cheers to that!
