Our Take

Woody Shaw Quintet's "Tokyo 81" featuring the legendary Mulgrew Miller is a groovy time capsule that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head like you're at a jazz club in 1981. Shaw's trumpet skills are as smooth as a freshly polished saxophone, with each note hitting you right in the feels. Miller's piano playing is so on point, you'll be convinced he's got ten fingers on each hand.

The energy on this album is through the roof, with each track carrying you through a musical journey that will leave you breathless. Shaw's quintet is tight as a drum, effortlessly jamming like they've been playing together since birth. The chemistry between the band members is palpable, with each musician feeding off the other's energy and pushing themselves to new heights.

Standout tracks include the funky "Stepping Stone" and the soulful "Ginseng People," both of which showcase Shaw and Miller's virtuoso skills. The album may be over 30 years old, but the music feels as fresh as a daisy in bloom.

Overall, "Tokyo 81" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to transport themselves back to the golden age of jazz. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of whiskey, and let the smooth sounds of Woody Shaw Quintet wash over you like a warm breeze on a summer's day.
