Our Take

As I sit here sipping on my artisanal cocktail, basking in the smoky ambiance of a dimly lit jazz club, I can't help but reflect on the latest offering from the eclectic collective known as KANSAS SMITTYS. Their album, "Things Happened Here," is a wild ride through the chaotic landscape of modern jazz, infused with a healthy dose of quirkiness and charm.

From the opening track, "Swingin' Times," KANSAS SMITTYS waste no time in showing off their impressive musical chops. The brass section blares out like a musical firework display, while the rhythm section grooves along with infectious energy. It's impossible not to tap your foot along to the beat, or even get up and dance like no one's watching.

But don't let the lively energy fool you - there's a depth and complexity to this album that belies its outward appearance. Tracks like "Midnight in Moscow" and "Rainy Day Lament" showcase the band's ability to shift effortlessly between different moods and emotions, leaving the listener feeling both elated and introspective.

Overall, "Things Happened Here" is a delightful romp through the world of modern jazz, filled with unexpected twists and turns that will keep you on your toes. KANSAS SMITTYS have truly created something special with this album, and I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Raise a toast to these musical maestros - they've certainly earned it. Cheers!
