Our Take

Ah, the distinctive sound of Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band never fails to transport listeners back to a bygone era of jazz clubs and smoky lounges. The Classic Years Vol. 2 is a delightful continuation of the group's timeless music, showcasing their impeccable musicianship and undeniable charm.

From the toe-tapping rhythms of "Stranger on the Shore" to the soulful melodies of "Creole Jazz," this album is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of traditional jazz. Bilk's soulful clarinet playing is as smooth as ever, weaving effortlessly through each track like a master storyteller spinning a tale.

While some may argue that this album is a rehash of familiar tunes, there's no denying the sheer joy and energy that Bilk and his band bring to each performance. The infectious energy of tracks like "Buona Sera" and "That's My Home" will have you tapping your foot and swaying along in no time.

Overall, The Classic Years Vol. 2 is a must-have for any jazz enthusiast looking to add a touch of old-school cool to their music collection. Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band may be a blast from the past, but their music is as relevant and enjoyable today as it was back in the day. So sit back, relax, and let the smooth sounds of Acker Bilk transport you to a time when jazz was king. Cheers to that!
