Carroll Gibbons And The Savoy Hotel Orpheans - On The Air
Review by Michael Henderson
On The Air, the album by Carroll Gibbons and The Savoy Hotel Orpheans, is a delightful collection of jazz and swing music that transports listeners back to the golden age of big band music. The album features a range of classic tracks, including "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" and "It's Only a Paper Moon," as well as a number of lesser-known gems.
Throughout the album, Gibbons and his orchestra showcase their impressive musicianship, with tight arrangements, intricate solos, and a lively energy that is infectious. The album also features a number of vocal performances, including the sultry tones of Anne Lenner on "The Way You Look Tonight" and the playful crooning of Al Bowlly on "The Moon Got in My Eyes."
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Continental," a rousing dance number that is sure to get toes tapping and hips swaying. Gibbons and his orchestra bring a real sense of joy and vitality to this classic tune, with the horns and percussion driving the rhythm and the piano providing a lively counterpoint.
