Our Take

The Incomparable Henry "Red" Allen Volume 1 is a swinging, toe-tapping delight from start to finish. Allen's distinctive trumpet playing shines brightly throughout the album, showcasing his unique blend of hot jazz and sweet melodies.

From the opening track "Whatcha Gonna Do When There Ain't No Swing?" to the closing notes of "Let Me Miss You, Baby," Allen's charisma and virtuosity are on full display. His playful approach to each tune keeps the listener engaged and entertained, with each solo taking unexpected twists and turns.

The band backing Allen on this record is top-notch, with tight arrangements and solid grooves that keep the energy level high. The rhythm section in particular is a standout, providing a solid foundation for Allen's explosive trumpet work.

Tracks like "Ride, Red, Ride" and "St. James Infirmary" are sure to get your feet tapping and your head nodding along. Allen's vocals on numbers like "Swing, Brother, Swing" are equally delightful, showing off his charm and wit.

Overall, The Incomparable Henry "Red" Allen Volume 1 is a must-listen for fans of classic jazz and anyone looking for a good time. Allen's infectious energy and undeniable talent make this album a joy to experience, time and time again. So grab a cocktail, put on your dancing shoes, and let Henry "Red" Allen take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
