Our Take

The TEMPERANCE SEVEN's latest offering, "Tea For Eight," is a delightful romp through the whimsical world of 1920s jazz that will leave you feeling like you've just stepped out of a time machine and into a speakeasy. With their trademark blend of old-timey charm and quirky instrumentation, this album is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for those who long for the days of flapper dresses and Prohibition.

From the infectious melodies of tracks like "Charleston Charlie" to the toe-tapping rhythms of "Hot Potatoes," the TEMPERANCE SEVEN never fail to deliver a rollicking good time. The band's impeccable musicianship shines through on every track, with each member bringing their unique flair to the ensemble. Standout performances include banjo player Spats Langham's infectious energy and trumpet player Wally Fawkes' soulful solos.

But it's not all just fun and games on "Tea For Eight." The TEMPERANCE SEVEN also show their more introspective side on tracks like "When My Dream Boat Comes Home," with its hauntingly beautiful vocals and melancholic trumpet lines. The album's moments of tenderness provide a nice balance to the band's more exuberant numbers, showcasing the depth and versatility of their musical talents.

Overall, "Tea For Eight" is a joyous celebration of a bygone era, brought to life by the incomparable talent of the TEMPERANCE SEVEN. So pour yourself a cuppa, sit back, and let the sounds of yesteryear wash over you in all their nostalgic glory. Cheers to the TEMPERANCE SEVEN for another stellar album that proves that good music truly is timeless.
