Erskine Hawkins And His Orchestra - 1941 1945
Review by Addie Gerritts
Erskine Hawkins And His Orchestra's album "1941-1945" is a stunning collection of swing and jazz music from the World War II era. Featuring Hawkins' signature trumpet playing and the skilled musicianship of his band, the album captures the energy and excitement of the time.
The album includes classic tracks such as "Tuxedo Junction" and "After Hours" as well as lesser-known gems like "I Hope You're Happy" and "Fool That I Am". Each song is beautifully arranged and performed with a sense of passion and joy that is infectious.
Throughout the album, Hawkins' trumpet playing is a standout feature. His skill and flair on the instrument are evident on every track, and his solos are a highlight of the album. The rest of the band is equally impressive, with tight rhythms and intricate arrangements that showcase their talent.
