Our Take

With their latest release, "The City Gent," Dick Charlesworth and his band of merry City Gents deliver a rollicking good time that’s sure to get your foot tapping and your hips swaying. Fusing together elements of jazz, blues, and swing, this album is like a musical cocktail that goes down smooth and leaves you wanting more.

From the infectious grooves of "Swinging with the City Gents" to the soulful melodies of "Midnight in the City," each track on this album is a testament to the band’s immense talent and undeniable chemistry. Dick Charlesworth’s smooth saxophone playing is a joy to listen to, while the rest of the City Gents provide a solid foundation of drums, bass, and piano that keeps the music swinging from start to finish.

But what truly sets "The City Gent" apart is its sense of whimsy and playfulness. Tracks like "Jive Talkin’" and "Funky Town Blues" are infused with a cheeky sense of humor that’s impossible to resist. It’s clear that Dick Charlesworth and his City Gents don’t take themselves too seriously, and that’s what makes this album such a delight to listen to.

So if you’re looking for a fun, quirky, and thoroughly enjoyable musical experience, look no further than "The City Gent" by Dick Charlesworth and his fantastic band of musical misfits. Trust us, you won’t be disappointed.
