Review by Saji Nediyanchath

AK Salim's album Pretty For The People is a masterpiece that showcases his exceptional talent as a jazz composer and arranger. The album features a range of styles, from upbeat swing to moody ballads, all infused with Salim's unique musical vision.

The opening track, "Salute to the Bandbox," sets the tone for the album with its lively tempo and intricate horn arrangements. The following track, "Afro Soul," slows things down with a soulful melody that highlights Salim's skill as a composer.

Throughout the album, Salim's arrangements are both complex and accessible, with each instrument adding to the overall texture of the music. The title track, "Pretty For The People," is a standout, with its catchy melody and infectious rhythm.
