Freddy Martin And His Orchestra - Sams SongMambo Jambo

Review by Dale Anne Potter

Freddy Martin And His Orchestra's album "Sam's Song/Mambo Jambo" is a delightful collection of tunes that will transport listeners back to the golden age of big band music. The album features a blend of upbeat mambo rhythms and swinging jazz melodies that showcase the band's exceptional musicianship.

From the opening track "Sam's Song," listeners are treated to Martin's smooth vocals and the band's tight arrangements. The song features a catchy chorus that will have listeners tapping their feet and singing along. The album's title track, "Mambo Jambo," is a lively instrumental that highlights the band's Latin influences and showcases their ability to create a party atmosphere.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Bumble Boogie," a jazzed-up version of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee," and "The Peanut Vendor," a classic Cuban tune that is given a fresh interpretation by Martin and his orchestra.
