Our Take

Ah, Matt Wates and his Sextet have delivered yet another jazz masterpiece with "People Will Talk." This album is like a refreshing pint of Guinness on a rainy London day - smooth, satisfying, and leaves you wanting more.

Wates' impeccable saxophone skills are on full display here, weaving in and out of the melodies like a well-trained acrobat. The rest of the Sextet, including piano, bass, drums, and trumpet, all bring their A-game to the table, creating a sound that is tight, cohesive, and downright groovy.

Tracks like "Swinging in the Rain" and "Jazzed Up Brits" showcase the band's ability to blend traditional jazz with a modern twist. The arrangements are playful, inventive, and full of surprises that keep the listener on their toes.

From start to finish, "People Will Talk" is a joyous romp through the world of jazz, filled with infectious rhythms and irresistible melodies. It's the kind of album that puts a smile on your face and a skip in your step, making it a must-listen for jazz aficionados and casual listeners alike.

So go ahead, grab yourself a cuppa, put on your best tweed jacket, and let Matt Wates' Sextet take you on a musical journey that will have people talking for years to come. Cheers to that, old chap!
