Our Take
The Mike Fahie Jazz Orchestra's latest album, Urban(e), is a veritable musical feast that delights the senses and challenges the mind. Fahie, a veteran of the jazz scene, has assembled a powerhouse ensemble that brings a fresh and modern twist to classic big band sounds. From the opening track, "Urban Jungle", we are thrust into a vibrant and bustling cityscape, complete with pulsating rhythms and brassy flourishes. The album seamlessly moves between moments of frenetic energy and quiet contemplation, showcasing the versatility and skill of Fahie and his bandmates. Standout tracks such as "City Lights" and "Concrete Jungle" highlight Fahie's impeccable arranging skills, effortlessly blending genres and styles to create a sound that is uniquely his own. The interplay between the various instruments is nothing short of mesmerizing, with each musician given ample opportunity to shine. But what truly sets Urban(e) apart is its sense of joy and whimsy. Fahie and his orchestra clearly revel in the music they are creating, and their enthusiasm is infectious. This is an album that demands to be listened to with a smile on your face and a spring in your step. In conclusion, Urban(e) is a triumph for Mike Fahie and his Jazz Orchestra. With its bold compositions, expert musicianship, and playful spirit, this album is a must-listen for any fan of big band jazz.
