Our Take

Jolly good day, music aficionados! Today, we find ourselves bopping along to the delightful tunes of "So Much. So Quickly: British Modern Jazz Pianists 1948-63," a collection celebrating the piano prowess of our mates across the pond.

From the first tinkling notes of Oscar Peterson's "So Much Time" to the jazzy stylings of Victor Feldman's "In a Jiff," this album is like sipping a cuppa tea on a rainy London afternoon—comforting, yet bursting with creativity. Each track showcases the diverse talents of British modern jazz pianists during a golden era of musical innovation.

One standout moment is the enchanting duet between Stan Tracey and Dudley Moore on "Two's Company," where their playful banter on the keys is as charming as a cheeky chap in a bowler hat. And let's not forget the dazzling solo performances by the likes of Terry Shannon and Michael Garrick, whose fingers dance across the piano keys with precision and flair.

Overall, "So Much. So Quickly" is a toe-tapping journey through the heyday of British modern jazz piano, brimming with talent and charm. So put on your best tweed jacket, pour yourself a pint of stout, and let these swinging tunes transport you back to a time when jazz was king. Cheers, mates!
