The West Coast All Stars - TV Jazz Themes
Review by Victoria Shifidi
The West Coast All Stars have delivered a stunning collection of jazz renditions of classic TV themes on their album TV Jazz Themes. The band's smooth and polished sound is a perfect match for the nostalgic melodies of beloved shows like The Brady Bunch, The Flintstones, and The Pink Panther.
The album opens with a lively take on the theme from The Love Boat, featuring tight horn arrangements and a swinging rhythm section. The band's rendition of the theme from The Mary Tyler Moore Show is a standout, with its bouncy piano lines and playful saxophone solos.
The West Coast All Stars also tackle more complex themes, such as the intricate and moody music from The Twilight Zone. They bring a fresh perspective to these well-known pieces, infusing them with their own unique style while still paying homage to the original composers.
