Our Take

Christina Dahl Quartet's latest offering, Quintessein, is like a breath of fresh air in a room full of stale cigarette smoke and pretentious jazz wannabes. This album is the perfect mix of playful melodies, intricate harmonies, and soulful solos that will make you want to grab a martini and dance the night away.

From the opening track, "Swinging in the Rain," to the closing notes of "Smooth Sailing," Dahl and her quartet take you on a musical journey that is both nostalgic and cutting-edge. The band's chemistry is undeniable, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the table.

Dahl's piano playing is nothing short of enchanting, weaving in and out of the other instruments with ease. The rhythm section holds everything together with a tightness that can only come from years of playing together. And the saxophone solos? Let's just say they'll have you reaching for your sunglasses and pretending you're in a smoky nightclub in the 1950s.

Overall, Quintessein is a must-listen for anyone looking to jazz up their music collection. It's fun, it's quirky, and it's downright infectious. So grab a copy, press play, and get ready to be transported to a world where the music is smooth, the vibes are cool, and the only thing that matters is the groove. Cheers to Christina Dahl Quartet for creating an album that is truly quintessential.
