Our Take

PAT BATTSTONE's latest offering, The Last Taxi, is a wild ride through the chaotic landscape of avant-garde jazz. Battstone, known for his experimental approach to music, delivers a truly unique and immersive listening experience with this album.

From the opening track, "Taxi Dance," it's clear that Battstone is taking listeners on a journey that is equal parts exhilarating and disorientating. The blend of complex rhythms, unconventional time signatures, and unpredictable melodies keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire album.

Tracks like "City Lights" and "Midnight Cabaret" transport you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of a bustling city, while "Farewell Waltz" lulls you into a dreamlike state with its hauntingly beautiful piano melodies. Each song on The Last Taxi feels like a mini adventure, with Battstone as your guide through this musical maze.

The seamless integration of traditional jazz elements with modern experimental techniques is a testament to Battstone's talent and imagination. It's clear that he is unafraid to push the boundaries of what jazz can be, and the result is a mesmerising and captivating listening experience.

Overall, The Last Taxi is a must-listen for any fan of avant-garde jazz looking for something fresh and exciting. PAT BATTSTONE has truly outdone himself with this album, and we can't wait to see where his musical journey takes us next. Jump in the backseat and enjoy the ride.
