Our Take

If I had a pound for every time I heard someone say jazz is dead, I’d be a rich man. But then along comes an album like Playing In The Yard by the Jazz Ensemble of Memphis, and suddenly I’m dancing around my living room like it’s 1925.

On this cobalt blue vinyl masterpiece, the band serves up a deliciously funky blend of traditional jazz with a modern twist. From the smooth trumpet solos to the infectious rhythms of the drums, every track on this album is a joy to listen to.

The title track, “Playing In The Yard,” is a toe-tapping delight that will have you reminiscing about lazy summer days spent lounging in the sun. Meanwhile, “Midnight Blues” takes you on a journey through the smoky jazz clubs of yesteryear, with its hauntingly beautiful melody and sultry vocals.

But it’s not all smooth sailing on this record. The Jazz Ensemble of Memphis isn’t afraid to push boundaries, as evidenced by the experimental sounds of “Electric Dreams” and the avant-garde stylings of “Funky Fusion.”

Overall, Playing In The Yard is a must-have for any jazz aficionado looking to inject a bit of excitement into their record collection. So grab your cobalt blue vinyl, sit back, and let the smooth sounds of the Jazz Ensemble of Memphis take you on a musical journey you won’t soon forget.
