Mound City Blue Blowers' album Hello Lola is a delightful collection of lively jazz tunes that are sure to get your feet tapping. The group's unique blend of traditional jazz styles with modern twists makes for a refreshing and engaging listening experience.
The album opens with the upbeat and energetic "Hello Lola," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The group's tight musicianship and playful improvisation are on full display throughout the album, particularly on tracks like "Stompin' Around" and "Someday Sweetheart."
One of the standout moments on the album is the group's rendition of "Ain't Misbehavin'," which features a soulful clarinet solo by the group's leader, Red McKenzie. The track is a prime example of the group's ability to take a classic jazz standard and make it their own.
