Joe Anto - Nightingale Promenade

Review by Vassilis Bartzokas

Nightingale Promenade, the latest album by Joe Anto, offers a refreshing blend of contemporary jazz and classical music. The album features Anto's signature saxophone sound, complemented by a full orchestra and a variety of other instruments.

The opening track, "Nightingale Promenade," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its soaring melodies and lush harmonies. The album continues with a mix of original compositions and covers, including a beautiful rendition of "Moon River" and a lively take on "Take the A Train."

Anto's virtuosic saxophone playing is on full display throughout the album, but he also leaves plenty of room for the other musicians to shine. The orchestra provides a rich backdrop for Anto's solos, and the rhythm section keeps the grooves tight and funky.

Summary by Vassilis Bartzokas

Nightingale Promenade is a masterful album that showcases Joe Anto's talents as both a composer and a performer. Fans of jazz and classical music alike will find plenty to enjoy on this album.
