Our Take

RICKY ALEXANDER's latest offering, "Strike Up The Band," is a vibrant and infectious blend of traditional jazz and modern flair. From the moment the first notes hit your ears, you can't help but be swept up in the energetic rhythms and electrifying solos that permeate every track.

Alexander's virtuosic trumpet playing is front and centre throughout the album, showcasing his undeniable talent and charisma. The way he effortlessly glides through complex melodies and intricate improvisations is nothing short of mesmerising.

But it's not just Alexander's technical prowess that shines on this record - his composing skills are equally impressive. Each track is a carefully crafted masterpiece, with tight arrangements and dynamic shifts that keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

The band itself is a well-oiled machine, with each member bringing a unique voice to the table. From the propulsive drumming to the soulful piano accompaniment, every player is given their moment to shine and they seize it with gusto.

In a music landscape that can sometimes feel stagnant and repetitive, "Strike Up The Band" is a breath of fresh air. It's a reminder that jazz is alive and well, and in the hands of artists like RICKY ALEXANDER, it's more exciting than ever. So go ahead, press play and let the music take you on a wild ride - you won't regret it.
