Our Take

If we were to personify genres of music, jazz would definitely be that cool, sophisticated uncle who always steals the show at family gatherings. And when it comes to jazz legends, Acker Bilk is the granddaddy of them all. His latest album, "Seven Ages Of Acker," is a delightful journey through seven decades of musical virtuosity.

From the smooth, velvety tones of his clarinet to the toe-tapping beats of the accompanying jazz band, Bilk effortlessly takes us on a whimsical ride through time and space. Each track on the album showcases his unparalleled talent and deep love for the art form.

Tracks like "Swinging Seventies" and "Eighties Extravaganza" transport us back to a time when disco ruled the airwaves and shoulder pads were all the rage. Meanwhile, "Nineties Nostalgia" and "Millennial Melodies" remind us of a simpler time when boy bands reigned supreme and the internet was still a novelty.

But it's not all just a trip down memory lane. Bilk infuses a sense of modernity into each track, proving that even after seven decades in the business, he's still at the top of his game. "2020 Vision" and "Future Funk" showcase his ability to stay relevant and fresh in an ever-changing musical landscape.

Overall, "Seven Ages Of Acker" is a testament to Bilk's enduring talent and legacy in the world of jazz. It's a must-listen for fans of the genre and a delightful journey for music lovers of all ages.
