Our Take

George Lewis & His New Orleans Stompers' "Vintage George Lewis 1954-55" is like taking a trip back in time to the golden era of New Orleans jazz. This album is a veritable time capsule of toe-tapping tunes that will have you dancing like it's the 1950s all over again.

From the opening notes of "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" to the closing chords of "Burgundy Street Blues," George Lewis and his band deliver a masterclass in traditional jazz that is both infectious and joyous. Lewis' clarinet playing is nothing short of sublime, effortlessly weaving intricate melodies that transport you straight to the streets of the French Quarter.

The standout tracks on this album are the lively "Down by the Riverside" and the soulful "Over the Waves," both of which showcase the impeccable musicianship of Lewis and his band. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, with each member playing off each other with gusto and enthusiasm.

Listening to "Vintage George Lewis 1954-55" is like being a fly on the wall at a raucous jazz club in New Orleans. It's impossible not to get swept up in the infectious energy and exuberance of the music. So grab a cocktail, kick off your shoes, and let George Lewis take you on a musical journey through time. Trust us, you won't regret it.
