Our Take

RED NORVO The Red Norvo Collection 1933-60

Red Norvo, an unsung hero in the world of jazz music, finally gets his due in this comprehensive collection spanning from 1933 to 1960. Known as the "Modern Jazz Pioneer", Norvo's smooth vibes and innovative drumming techniques have influenced generations of musicians.

The album kicks off with Norvo's early recordings, showcasing his virtuosity on the xylophone and vibraphone. Tracks like "Dance of the Octopus" and "Prelude in C Sharp Minor" highlight Norvo's technical prowess and improvisational skills.

As the collection progresses, we see Norvo's evolution as a bandleader, collaborating with jazz luminaries such as Mildred Bailey and Frank Sinatra. His nuanced arrangements and dynamic rhythms shine through on tracks like "I'll Remember April" and "I Get A Kick Out of You".

But it's Norvo's later recordings that truly stand out. His experimental forays into bebop and cool jazz on tracks like "Move" and "Night and Day" show his willingness to push boundaries and explore new sounds.

Overall, The Red Norvo Collection is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. Norvo's influence on the genre is undeniable, and this album is a testament to his enduring legacy. So sit back, relax, and let Red Norvo take you on a musical journey like no other. Verdict: 8.5/10
