Our Take

Ah, the sweet sounds of jazz from a bygone era, delicately preserved in The Clarence Williams Collection 1923-37. This album is like a time machine for your ears, transporting you back to the roaring twenties and thirties when jazz was king and flappers ruled the night.

Clarence Williams, a true pioneer of early jazz, shines bright on this collection, showcasing his talents as a pianist, composer, and bandleader. His infectious energy and charisma radiate through each track, filling the room with an irresistible groove that will have you tapping your feet and swinging your hips in no time.

From the upbeat rhythms of "Cake Walkin' Babies From Home" to the soulful strains of "West End Blues," Williams effortlessly traverses a wide spectrum of jazz styles, proving his versatility and mastery of the genre. His collaborations with jazz legends such as Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet only serve to further elevate the quality of this collection, making it a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast.

But what truly sets The Clarence Williams Collection apart is its ability to capture the spirit of a bygone era and bring it to life in vivid technicolor. Each note feels like a brushstroke on a canvas, painting a picture of a time when jazz was more than just music – it was a way of life.

So sit back, pour yourself a martini, and let The Clarence Williams Collection 1923-37 take you on a journey through the golden age of jazz. You won't be disappointed.
