Our Take

Jolly good day, chaps and chapettes! Today, we have the pleasure of diving into the delightful world of jazz with the classic album SHELLY MANNE Three Classic Albums Plus. Let me tell you, this album is as quirky as a cup of tea with a twist of lemon.

From the first note, you'll be transported to a swanky underground jazz club in the heart of London. Shelly Manne's drumming is like a perfectly brewed pot of Earl Grey – smooth, sophisticated, and oh-so-refreshing.

The album kicks off with "Yesterdays", a toe-tapping tune that will have you swinging and swaying in no time. Manne's intricate rhythms dance around the bass and piano like a well-trained foxhound on the hunt for a good time.

As we move on to "Moonlight in Vermont", the mood shifts to a more mellow vibe. Manne's brushwork is delicate and thoughtful, painting a picture of rolling hills and starlit skies. It's like a peaceful stroll through the English countryside on a crisp autumn evening.

And finally, we're treated to "Essence", a lively and energetic track that showcases Manne's drumming prowess in all its glory. The sheer joy and passion in his playing is infectious, making you want to jump up and dance like a loony at a royal garden party.

In conclusion, SHELLY MANNE Three Classic Albums Plus is a true gem of an album that is sure to delight even the most discerning jazz aficionados. It's like a spot of crumpets and jam – sweet, satisfying, and quintessentially British. Cheers!

Shelly Manne

Shelly Manne may not be a household name, but within the jazz world, he's a drumming legend on par with the greats. With a career that spanned over five decades, Manne left an indelible mark on the music scene with his impeccable timing, inventive rhythms, and dynamic playing style. Born in New York in 1920, Manne cut his teeth on the bustling jazz scene of the Big Apple before making his way to the West Coast in the 1950s. It was there that he truly found his groove, becoming a key player in the burgeoning West Coast jazz movement. Manne's versatility was unmatched, effortlessly moving between different jazz styles from bebop to cool jazz to avant-garde. His work as a session musician earned him the nickname "The West Coast's First-Call Drummer," playing on countless albums with some of the biggest names in jazz. But it wasn't just his technical prowess that set Manne apart. He had a personality as flamboyant as his drumming style, known for his quick wit and infectious sense of humour. Whether he was laying down a swinging groove or cracking a joke on stage, Manne always knew how to keep the audience entertained. Though he may have passed away in 1984, Shelly Manne's legacy lives on through his recordings and the countless musicians he inspired. So next time you're grooving to a jazz record, remember to tip your hat to the man behind the kit – Shelly Manne, the unsung hero of jazz drumming.
