Our Take
Our Take
With their latest release, "Shades Of Blue/Dusk Fire," the Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet has proven once again why they are legends in the jazz world. This album is a delightful mix of cool, smooth sounds that will transport you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of London.
From the opening track, "Shades Of Blue," you are immediately drawn in by Rendell's mesmerising saxophone playing, supported by Carr's masterful trumpet work. The chemistry between these two musicians is undeniable, and it shines through in every note they play.
"Dusk Fire" takes things up a notch with its energetic rhythm and soulful melodies. The rest of the quintet, including pianist Michael Garrick, bassist Dave Green, and drummer Trevor Tomkins, seamlessly blend together to create a rich, dynamic sound that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
The standout track on the album has to be "Blue Mosque," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases Rendell and Carr's incredible talent and musicianship. It's the kind of song that you can listen to on repeat and never get tired of.
Overall, "Shades Of Blue/Dusk Fire" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. The Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet has once again delivered a stellar album that cements their status as jazz royalty. So grab yourself a cocktail, dim the lights, and let this album take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
