Our Take

If Pitchfork Magazine hired me to review this album, I would probably say something like:

Muggsy Spanier may not be a household name like Beyoncé or The Beatles, but he deserves a spot in your music collection. Spanier's collection from 1924-1949 is a wild ride through the jazz world, filled with toe-tapping tunes and smooth trumpet solos that will make you want to dance like it's the Roaring Twenties all over again.

Spanier's unique style and infectious energy shine through on tracks like "Dipper Mouth Blues" and "Relaxin' At The Touro." His ability to blend traditional jazz with a modern twist makes this collection a must-listen for any music lover.

From the honky-tonk piano to the swinging clarinet, every instrument in Spanier's band is on point, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or just looking to expand your music horizons, The Muggsy Spanier Collection is sure to delight and entertain.

So grab a cocktail, put on your dancing shoes, and let Muggsy Spanier take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Who knew that a trumpet could sound so cool? Spanier did, and he's ready to show you just how amazing jazz can be. Cheers to Muggsy Spanier and his epic musical collection – it's definitely worth a listen.
