Our Take
Our Take
The National Jazz Trio of Scotland, led by the enigmatic Bill Wells, have delivered a delightful romp through the standards on their latest release, "Standards Vol. V." This eclectic trio manages to expertly blend traditional jazz elements with quirky, unexpected twists that keep listeners on their toes throughout the entire album.
From the opening track, "Autumn Leaves," the National Jazz Trio of Scotland sets the tone for a whimsical journey filled with unexpected surprises. Wells' intricate piano playing combined with Aby Vulliamy's haunting vocals and Kate Sugden's lush violin work create a sonic landscape that is both familiar and refreshingly unique.
Standout tracks on "Standards Vol. V" include the mesmerizing "Summertime," where Vulliamy's voice soars over Wells' intricate piano melodies, and the playful "Take the 'A' Train," which features Sugden's violin dancing effortlessly alongside Wells' nimble finger work.
The National Jazz Trio of Scotland has once again proven themselves to be masters of their craft with "Standards Vol. V." This album is a must-listen for anyone looking to add a touch of whimsy and sophistication to their music collection. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your finest whiskey, and let the National Jazz Trio of Scotland take you on a musical journey unlike any other. Cheers!
