Our Take

Ray Bloch & His Orchestra's "Bloch Party: The Singles Collection 1945-56" is a delightful romp through the swinging sounds of the post-war era. With a mix of big band jazz, dance hall favourites, and classic pop tunes, this collection is a veritable musical time machine that transports listeners back to a simpler, more carefree time.

From the energetic opening track "Jumpin' Jive" to the sultry tones of "Moonlight Serenade," Bloch and his orchestra showcase their versatility and talent. Each song is a mini masterpiece, with lush arrangements, tight rhythms, and soaring melodies that will have you tapping your feet and humming along.

One standout track is the catchy "Swingin' the Blues," which highlights the band's impeccable sense of timing and groove. The horn section really shines on this track, with blistering solos and tight harmonies that will have you reaching for your dancing shoes.

Overall, "Bloch Party" is a joyous celebration of a bygone era. It's the perfect soundtrack for a retro-themed party or just a lazy Sunday afternoon spent lounging around the house. So grab a cocktail, put on your best vintage attire, and let Ray Bloch & His Orchestra take you on a musical journey back in time. Trust me, you won't regret it.
