Our Take
If you're looking for a big sound that'll knock your tea cosy off, look no further than Johnny Hodges and the Ellington Men's latest album. This record is as British as a spot of rain on a Sunday afternoon, with a dash of that classic Ellington flair thrown in for good measure. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of London, surrounded by the sweet sounds of saxophones, trumpets, and the unmistakable swagger of Hodges himself. The band's chemistry is undeniable, and you can feel the energy and passion they bring to each and every track. One standout moment is the track "Swinging in Soho," which perfectly captures the spirit of the swinging sixties in the heart of London. The infectious groove and tight arrangements make it impossible to sit still while listening. But it's not all swinging and swaying – tracks like "Rainy Day Blues" showcase Hodges' versatility as a musician, with haunting melodies and soulful solos that will tug at your heartstrings. Overall, Johnny Hodges and the Ellington Men have created an album that's a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. So put on your best tweed jacket, pour yourself a cuppa, and let the big sound of this British gem wash over you. Cheers to that, old chap!
