Our Take

The Tempo Anthology-British Modern Jazz 1954-60 is a tantalizing trip down memory lane for fans of British jazz in the mid-20th century. This compilation album features a variety of artists from the era, showcasing the diversity and innovation of the music scene at the time.

From the smooth saxophone stylings of Tubby Hayes to the frenetic drumming of Tony Kinsey, there is something for everyone on this eclectic collection. The album kicks off with a bang, with Ronnie Scott's energetic rendition of "The Contest" setting the tone for what's to come.

One of the standout tracks on the album is Don Rendell's "A Shade of Blues," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases his exceptional skills as a saxophonist. The interplay between Rendell and his bandmates is simply mesmerizing, drawing the listener in and never letting go.

Throughout the album, the musicianship on display is top-notch, with each artist bringing their own unique style to the table. Whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or just looking to expand your musical horizons, The Tempo Anthology-British Modern Jazz 1954-60 is a must-listen for anyone with an appreciation for great music. So grab a glass of whisky, put on your favorite smoking jacket, and let the smooth sounds of British modern jazz transport you back in time. Cheers, old chap!
