Our Take

Ah, the Eric Ekstrand Ensemble, masters of "Standard Delivery." This album comes straight at you like a double-decker bus driven by a bearded man in a tweed cap - smooth, jazzy, and oh-so-British.

From the first note of "Tea Time Jam," you're transported to a quaint little café in London, sipping on a cuppa and tapping your foot to the infectious rhythms. Ekstrand's trumpet playing is as sharp as a Union Jack flag flapping in the breeze, while the rest of the ensemble provides the perfect backdrop of swinging horns and toe-tapping beats.

But don't be fooled by the title - there's nothing standard about this delivery. Tracks like "Fish and Chips Boogie" and "Mind the Gap Waltz" showcase the band's playful side, injecting a healthy dose of cheeky humour into their music. It's like taking a stroll through Hyde Park on a sunny day, with a brass band playing in the distance and a smile on your face.

Overall, "Standard Delivery" is a delightful mix of traditional jazz and quirky British charm. So, grab your umbrella, put on your best bowler hat, and get ready to groove to the sounds of the Eric Ekstrand Ensemble. It's a musical journey that's anything but standard - in the best possible way. Cheers, mate!
