Our Take

Picture this: Tokyo, 1981. The air is electric with anticipation as the Woody Shaw Quintet takes the stage. And let me tell you, folks, they did not disappoint. This album, aptly titled "Tokyo 81," captures all the energy and excitement of that legendary performance.

From the opening notes of the title track, you can feel Shaw's prowess on the trumpet. His solos are electrifying, his tone rich and complex. And let's not forget about the rest of the band - they are tight, groovy, and oh so funky.

One standout track is "United," a soulful ballad that showcases Shaw's lyrical playing. The interplay between the band members is simply magical, each musician feeding off the other's energy and creativity.

But what really sets this album apart is the sheer joy and passion that oozes from every note. You can tell that these musicians are having the time of their lives, and it's infectious. It's impossible not to tap your foot or nod your head along to the music.

In conclusion, "Tokyo 81" is a true gem of an album. It's a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts and music lovers alike. So grab yourself a glass of wine, sit back, and let the Woody Shaw Quintet transport you to that magical night in Tokyo. Cheers!
