Alex Welsh & His Band - Tansy

Review by Pablo Rampone

Tansy, the album by Alex Welsh & His Band, is a delightful treat for jazz enthusiasts. The band's impeccable musicianship and Alex Welsh's trumpet playing are a perfect match for the swinging melodies and rhythms that fill the album.

The album opens with the lively "I'm Crazy 'Bout My Baby," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and it's impossible not to tap your feet and nod your head along with the beat.

Another standout track is "The Mooche," a Duke Ellington classic that Alex Welsh and his band make their own. The band's tight arrangement and Welsh's virtuoso trumpet playing make this track a joy to listen to.

The album also features some slower, more introspective tracks, such as "Blues For Jimmy" and "I Surrender Dear." These tracks showcase Welsh's ability to convey emotion through his playing and the band's ability to create a mood with their music.

Summary by Pablo Rampone

Tansy is a fantastic album that showcases the talent and skill of Alex Welsh & His Band. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or just looking for some great music to listen to, this album is definitely worth a listen.
