Our Take

LEO REISMAN Maestro Sophisticate: a journey into the extravagant, the opulent, the downright sophisticated. This latest offering from the legendary maestro himself is a whirlwind of lush orchestrations, dazzling rhythms, and an overall sense of grandeur that is simply unmatched.

From the moment the first notes of "Rhapsody in Blue" hit your ears, you know you're in for something special. Reisman's impeccable command of the orchestra is on full display, weaving together a tapestry of sound that is both intricate and sublime. His interpretation of classic tunes like "Fascinating Rhythm" and "Embraceable You" is nothing short of breathtaking, breathing new life into these timeless melodies.

But it's not just the familiar classics that shine on Maestro Sophisticate. Reisman also delivers some surprising reinterpretations, like his jazz-infused take on "The Nutcracker Suite" that will leave you tapping your feet and craving more.

In true Reisman fashion, the album is full of unexpected twists and turns, keeping you on your toes and constantly surprising you with its creativity and flair. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the maestro or a newcomer to his work, Maestro Sophisticate is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that is sophisticated, stylish, and just a little bit cheeky. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Leo Reisman and His Orchestra

LEO REISMAN: The Forgotten Maestro Leo Reisman may not be a household name in today's music scene, but in the roaring twenties and swinging thirties, this man was as hot as a freshly-pressed vinyl on a summer's day. Known for his impeccable taste and keen sense of innovation, Reisman was a true pioneer in the world of dance orchestras and big band music. With his trademark slicked-back hair and devil-may-care attitude, Reisman was the quintessential gentleman of jazz, effortlessly blending the old-school charm of Gershwin with the experimental vibes of Ellington. His unique sound was a heady cocktail of sophistication and swing, winning him a legion of loyal fans and a slew of chart-topping hits. But, alas, like so many musical geniuses of yesteryear, Reisman's star faded as the world moved on to newer, flashier sounds. Sure, you won't find his tunes blaring out of every trendy coffee shop or pumping through the speakers of every hipster's record player, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give Leo Reisman a spin. Trust me, the man had more funk in his little finger than most modern acts have in their entire music collection. So, next time you're feeling a bit jaded with the current music scene, why not dust off a Leo Reisman record and take a trip back to a time when jazz was king and swing was the only thing that mattered. Leo may have been forgotten by the masses, but his music lives on, waiting to be rediscovered by a new generation of music lovers. Let's give this forgotten maestro the credit he deserves, shall we?
