Hutch Davie And Orchestra's album Glow Worm is a delightful collection of swing and jazz tunes that will transport listeners back to the golden age of big band music. The orchestra's skilled musicianship and Davie's masterful arrangements make for a thoroughly enjoyable listening experience.
The album opens with the title track, "Glow Worm," a playful and upbeat tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other highlights include "Blue Skies," a jazzy rendition of the Irving Berlin classic, and "Sing, Sing, Sing," a lively instrumental number that showcases the orchestra's impressive chops.
Davie's arrangements are the real star of the show here, as he expertly weaves together different instruments and sections of the orchestra to create a rich and dynamic sound. Whether it's the swinging horns on "In the Mood" or the lush strings on "I've Got You Under My Skin," each track on Glow Worm is a testament to Davie's talent as a arranger.
