Our Take

Sam Donahue's collection from 1940-48 is a jazzy time capsule that's as smooth as a Glenlivet whiskey on a cold winter's night. This album is like a beautiful time warp straight to the big band era, where swing was king and musicians wore fabulous fedoras without a hint of irony.

Donahue's arrangements are tight, his saxophone skills are on point, and his band is as sharp as a suit from Savile Row. Tracks like "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and "Just One More Chance" showcase the band's ability to swing with the best of them, while slower numbers like "Dizzy Atmosphere" and "Time's A-Wastin'" allow for some sultry saxophone solos that'll make you want to slow dance with your imaginary lover in a smoky jazz club.

With its blend of swing, blues, and bebop, this collection is like a musical cocktail that'll have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time. So grab a martini, put on your dancing shoes, and let Sam Donahue take you on a trip back in time to an era where the music was as sophisticated as the saxophonist himself. Cheers to that, old sport!

About the artist

Sam Donahue

Sam Donahue: The Eccentric Enigma of Indie Pop With his wild mop of curly hair and penchant for psychedelic patterns, Sam Donahue is a sight to behold on stage. His music, however, is even more captivating. Hailing from the gritty streets of Manchester, Donahue brings a fresh, quirky energy to the indie pop scene that is impossible to ignore. Donahue's debut album, "Electric Dreams and Neon Nights," was a critical and commercial success, earning him a devoted fan base and comparisons to the likes of David Bowie and Tame Impala. His infectious hooks and dreamy lyrics have a way of getting under your skin and staying there long after the music has stopped. But don't let his laid-back vibe fool you—Donahue is a perfectionist when it comes to his sound. He spends hours in the studio, tweaking every note and lyric until it's just right. And it shows. His latest single, "Lost in the Neon Lights," is a shimmering masterpiece that transports listeners to a world of neon-soaked nights and endless possibilities. In a music industry dominated by cookie-cutter pop stars and soulless auto-tune, Donahue is a breath of fresh air. His music is bold, original, and unapologetically weird. And we wouldn't have it any other way. Keep an eye on this rising star, because Sam Donahue is here to stay.
