Jazz for a Night on the Town [Savoy]

by Jazz For A Night On The Town /

Overview

Jazz for a Night on the Town, as released by Savoy Jazz in 2003, is a continuation of the popular Jazz For series released by 32 Jazz in the late '90s. Those discs contained songs from the catalog of the Muse label from the '70s, '80s, and '90s, and so does this disc. The 19 tracks are spread over two discs, and jazz giants like Jack McDuff, Charles Earland, Woody Shaw, and Bobby Hutcherson all contribute tracks and brush shoulders with jazz middleweights like Richie Cole, Russell Gunn, and Vincent Herring. As the title suggests, the songs are relaxed and the mood is swinging in a polite and sophisticated way. Although the songs date from well beyond jazz's peak years, the performances are uniformly solid and the disc is a nice low-priced collection of mood music. ~ Tim Sendra
