Our Take

The National Youth Jazz Orchestra is back with their latest release, "She Said," and let me tell you, this album is jazzier than a saxophone solo at a speakeasy. From the opening track, you can tell these young musicians have serious chops.

The brass section is tighter than a pair of skinny jeans, with trumpet and trombone solos that will make you want to grab a martini and hit the dance floor. The rhythm section is so in the pocket, they might as well be wearing cargo pants. And the piano and guitar work? Well, let's just say they're smoother than a jazz standard played by a veteran.

But what really sets this album apart is the inventive arrangements. Whether they're tackling classic standards or modern hits, the National Youth Jazz Orchestra brings a fresh perspective to every track. They're not afraid to take risks, and it pays off in spades.

Overall, "She Said" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. It's sophisticated, it's funky, and it's downright fun. So grab a glass of bourbon, put on your best fedora, and let the National Youth Jazz Orchestra take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that, old sport.
