Glen Gray & The Casa Loma Orchestra - Bugle Call Rag Rose Of The Rio Grande

Review by Debbie Weatherly

Glen Gray & The Casa Loma Orchestra's album Bugle Call Rag Rose Of The Rio Grande is a delightful collection of swing and jazz music from the 1930s. The album features 16 tracks that showcase the band's exceptional musicianship and unique style.

The album's opening track, "Bugle Call Rag," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its lively tempo and catchy melody. The band's brass section shines on tracks like "I Surrender Dear" and "Chinatown, My Chinatown," while the woodwinds take center stage on "Rose of the Rio Grande" and "Temptation."

The album also features some impressive vocal performances, particularly on "My Heart Tells Me" and "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm." The band's lead vocalist, Kenny Sargent, delivers these songs with a smooth, crooning style that perfectly complements the band's swinging arrangements.

Summary by Debbie Weatherly

Bugle Call Rag Rose Of The Rio Grande is a must-have for fans of swing and jazz music. Glen Gray & The Casa Loma Orchestra's impeccable musicianship and unique style make this album a true classic that still sounds fresh and exciting today.
