Our Take

TERRY LIGHTFOOT Tradition In Colour Album Review:

Terry Lightfoot's latest album, "Tradition In Colour," is a delightful romp through the world of traditional jazz with a modern twist. From the opening track "Swingin' with Seagulls" to the soulful ballad "Midnight on the Thames," Lightfoot showcases his mastery of the clarinet and infectious energy that will have you tapping your feet in no time.

The album is a kaleidoscope of vibrant sounds and textures, with each track painting a different shade of the jazz spectrum. Lightfoot effortlessly blends elements of swing, Dixieland, and blues, creating a sonic landscape that is both timeless and fresh.

One standout track is "The Jive Cats of Jagger's Lane," a rollicking tune that perfectly captures the spirit of the roaring '20s. Lightfoot's clarinet solos soar over the swinging rhythm section, transporting listeners back to a bygone era of speakeasies and flapper dresses.

But it's not all retro nostalgia on "Tradition In Colour." Lightfoot also showcases his versatility as a composer with the funky groove of "Jazz Club Caper" and the soulful lament of "Blues for a Rainy Sunday."

Overall, "Tradition In Colour" is a joyful celebration of jazz tradition with a modern twist. Terry Lightfoot proves once again why he is a master of the genre, delivering an album that is both fun and musically satisfying. Grab a cocktail, sit back, and let the music transport you to a world of swing and sophistication. Cheers to Terry Lightfoot!
