Our Take

Having been in the industry for what seems like a million years, I've seen it all - the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. So when I stumbled upon Gordon Jenkins' latest collection, I couldn't help but raise an intrigued eyebrow.

The Gordon Jenkins Collection is a hodgepodge of musical styles and influences, a mishmash of ballads, jazz, and even a sprinkle of something that can only be described as experimental (in the best way possible, of course).

The album kicks off with "Moon Dreams," a hauntingly beautiful track that immediately transports you to a smoky jazz club on a rainy night. Jenkins' orchestrations are lush and evocative, making you feel like you're living in a black-and-white film noir.

But just when you think you've got Jenkins all figured out, he hits you with "Manhattan Tower," a whimsical ode to the city that never sleeps. With its playful melodies and energetic brass section, this track is a delight from start to finish.

Overall, The Gordon Jenkins Collection is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking you on a wild ride through the highs and lows of Jenkins' musical journey. It's a must-listen for anyone who appreciates a bit of quirkiness in their music - trust me, you won't be disappointed.
