Our Take

Ah, Merritt Brunies & His Friars Inn Orch, the unsung heroes of the jazz world. Their newest album, BRUNIES/FRIARS INN OR, is like stepping into a time machine and being transported back to the glitzy, smoky clubs of the 1920s.

The opening track, "Swingin' at the Friars Inn," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious energy and toe-tapping rhythm. Brunies' trumpet playing is as smooth as silk, weaving effortlessly through the dynamic arrangements of the Friars Inn Orchestra.

As the album progresses, we are treated to a mix of classic jazz standards and original compositions, each one showcasing the incredible talent of the musicians in the band. From the sultry ballad "Moon over Bourbon Street" to the rollicking "Hot Jazz Rag," there is something for every jazz aficionado on this record.

But what really sets BRUNIES/FRIARS INN OR apart is the sense of camaraderie and pure joy that permeates each track. It's clear that Brunies and his band are having the time of their lives, and their infectious enthusiasm is impossible to resist.

So, if you're looking for a dose of nostalgia and a whole lot of swing, look no further than BRUNIES/FRIARS INN OR. Merritt Brunies & His Friars Inn Orch have crafted a timeless masterpiece that will have you dancing the night away.
