Our Take

The New York Standards Quartet are back with their latest offering, "Sleight of Hand," and it's a jazzy delight that will have you tapping your toes in no time. This quartet, made up of Tim Armacost on saxophone, David Berkman on piano, Daiki Yasukagawa on bass, and Gene Jackson on drums, have been making waves in the jazz scene for years, and this album is another feather in their musical cap.

From the opening track, "Isn't It Romantic," to the closing notes of "Stella By Starlight," the NYQ effortlessly blend traditional jazz standards with their own unique style, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh. Armacost's saxophone solos soar and sizzle, while Berkman's piano playing is at once elegant and energetic. The rhythm section of Yasukagawa and Jackson provides a solid foundation for the quartet to build upon, keeping the music swinging and grooving throughout.

Standout tracks include the playful "Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise," the soulful "Body And Soul," and the dynamic "In A Sentimental Mood." Each track showcases the quartet's technical proficiency and creative flair, making "Sleight of Hand" a must-listen for jazz fans old and new. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let the New York Standards Quartet transport you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of the Big Apple. Cheers!
