Review by Adrilenzo Cassoma

Bebop, the latest album by Carl LeBlanc, is a masterpiece that showcases the artist's exceptional talent and musical prowess. The album features a collection of original compositions and covers that pay homage to the bebop era of jazz music.

LeBlanc's impressive saxophone skills are on full display throughout the album, as he effortlessly weaves intricate melodies and improvisations into each track. His bandmates, including pianist Joe Smith and drummer Mark Johnson, provide the perfect complement to his playing, creating a cohesive and dynamic sound that is both timeless and modern.

The standout tracks on the album include the upbeat and energetic "Bebop Boogie," the soulful ballad "Blue in Green," and the frenetic "Salt Peanuts." Each song is a testament to LeBlanc's ability to capture the essence of bebop while infusing it with his own unique style and flair.
