Our Take

For their latest release, the JOHNNY HUNTER QUARTET have truly outdone themselves with "While We Still Can." This album is a rollercoaster of emotions, combining jazz, funk, and experimental sounds to create a truly unique listening experience. From the opening track, "Let's Get Funky," to the closing ballad, "Goodbye for Now," this album will have you grooving and contemplating life all at once.

The quartet's musicianship is top-notch, with Johnny Hunter's drumming providing a solid backbone for the rest of the band to build on. The interplay between the saxophone, piano, and bass is both intricate and seamless, creating a sound that is both complex and accessible. Each member of the quartet brings their own style and flair to the table, resulting in a cohesive yet diverse album that will keep you coming back for more.

Standout tracks include the infectious "Funky Town," with its catchy hooks and driving rhythm, and the hauntingly beautiful "Dusk Till Dawn," which showcases the quartet's more introspective side. But really, every track on "While We Still Can" is a gem in its own right, making it impossible to pick just one favorite.

Overall, the JOHNNY HUNTER QUARTET have crafted an album that is not only a joy to listen to, but also a testament to their incredible talent and creativity. "While We Still Can" is a must-listen for any fan of jazz or experimental music, and is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who hear it.
