Our Take

Bill Holman's Complete Recordings is a veritable treasure trove of jazz goodness, spanning the prolific career of a musical genius. From the opening notes of "A View from the Side," Holman's masterful arrangements immediately transport listeners to a bygone era of cool jazz sophistication.

The album is a delightful sonic journey through the various stages of Holman's evolution as a composer and bandleader. Tracks like "Chelsea Bridge" showcase his intimate understanding of melody and harmony, while more upbeat numbers like "Burnin'" prove he's not afraid to let loose and have a bit of fun.

Holman's knack for blending traditional big band sounds with modern sensibilities is on full display throughout the album, with each track offering a new twist on familiar themes. Whether it's the sultry horns in "Star Eyes" or the scintillating saxophones in "Stompin' at the Savoy," there's always something unexpected waiting around the corner.

Overall, Bill Holman's Complete Recordings is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to expand their musical horizons. With its eclectic mix of styles and undeniable charm, this album is sure to be a timeless addition to any music lover's collection. So grab a glass of your favorite cocktail, sit back, and let Bill Holman's smooth sounds wash over you like a warm bath on a cold winter's night. You won't be disappointed.
