Our Take

Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats because Woody Herman is back with a bang in his latest album "Wildrootin." The legendary jazz bandleader has once again proved why he is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

From the moment you press play, you are transported into a world of swing and groove that will have you tapping your feet and swaying to the beat. Herman's unmistakable talent shines through in every track, with his infectious energy and charisma oozing out of every note.

The album kicks off with the high-energy track "Swingin' at the Savoy," which sets the tone for what's to come. Each song is a masterclass in musicianship, with Herman's band delivering tight, polished performances that will leave you in awe.

Standout tracks include the smooth and sultry "Misty," where Herman's clarinet skills take center stage, and the toe-tapping "Apple Honey," which will have you reaching for your dancing shoes.

"Wildrootin" is a testament to Herman's enduring talent and his ability to continue to captivate audiences after all these years. It's a must-listen for any jazz aficionado or music lover looking for something a little bit different.

So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Woody Herman take you on a wild and rootin' ride that you won't soon forget. Trust us, you won't be disappointed. Woody Herman is the real deal, baby!
