Way In Jazz / Big Bang

Big Bang - Way In Jazz

Arision Recordings

I bought this album on the strength of hearing one track which we know can be a little risky nowadays but "Way In Jazz" is as good as I was hoping. Things kick off with the well known "Favourite Things" which is, yes, a little obvious but it has to be said it's a great version. The rest of the tracks are a damn fine selection of Jazz that is not a million miles away from Nicola Conte and Five Corners Quintet, with an amazing array of guest vocalists and the exceptional Nathan Haines on sax and flute plus a top notch horn section featuring Ingrid Laubrock. Here is another ace soundtrack for the summer.
