Our Take

VEIN's latest offering, "Plays Porgy & Bess," is a jazzy, exhilarating rollercoaster ride through the beloved Gershwin classic. This trio of talented musicians, led by pianist Michael King, breathes new life into these timeless tunes with their fresh take on the iconic soundtrack.

From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, VEIN catapults you into a world of bebop and swing, inviting you to tap your feet and nod your head in time with their infectious rhythms. The chemistry between King, bassist Thomas Lähns, and drummer Florian Arbenz is electric, with each member lending their own unique flair to the collection.

Tracks like "Bess, You Is My Woman Now" and "It Ain't Necessarily So" are transformed into high-energy, frenetic jams that showcase the trio's technical prowess and improvisational chops. Meanwhile, ballads like "I Loves You, Porgy" are delivered with a tender touch that is sure to tug at your heartstrings.

Throughout the album, VEIN manages to strike the perfect balance between reverence for the original material and a desire to push boundaries and explore new sonic territory. The result is a captivating listening experience that will appeal to jazz aficionados and newcomers alike.

So grab a glass of your finest bourbon, settle into your favourite armchair, and let VEIN take you on a musical journey like no other. "Plays Porgy & Bess" is a triumph of creativity and skill that demands to be heard. Don't miss out on this gem of an album – it's a must-have for any serious music lover.
