Good time and easy listening trad jazz November 22, 2001
33 out of 35 found this review helpful
This CD is a collection made up from earlier records with typical trad jazz input for which Monty Sunshine is famed. However it is not just Monty Sunshine clarinet dominated, as all the musicians are superb with particularly forceful contributions from trombone, trumpet and banjo. There are opportunities for solos in addition to excellent ensemble playing, and though sometimes a little strained the music is always professional. There is a mixture of live and studio recordings, but all are equally well produced.The choice of numbers is trad jazz inspired with everything from traditional pieces and spirituals to popular tunes and anything melodic in between. The first track is a German cradle song "Sleep My Little Prince" and immediately a high standard is demonstrated. This is my favourite track on the CD and it sets the scene for all numbers being good time and easy listening. Jazz standards include great performances for such as "South", "Weary Blues" and "Savoy Blues", spirituals include a haunting rendition of "The Old Rugged Cross" and a melancholy vocal combined with low and high register clarinet on "Just A Closer Walk With Thee", and popular tunes abound with favourites such as "Bill Bailey", "Isle Of Capri", "You Are My Sunshine" and "Magnolia's Wedding Day". For good time and easy listening jazz this CD has it all - good musicians giving professional performances of a superb selection of numbers.
