Reviewed: 2018-08-21 Genre: Jazz Review: Fourteen cuts of pure joy leap from Lichtman’s latest disc, as he traces the history of jazz musicians that moved to Queens from the more expensive Manhattan in the 1920s. Backed by the Queensboro Six, the music swings, shakes, rattles, and walks with serious sass. Guest vocalists and musicians add additional flair. FCCs: none If You Like: Sidney Bechet, Benny Goodman, Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, Blossom Dearie Track Review (favorites denoted by *): *1/ 7 Express (2;34) – horns start> fast jam> clarinet solo> trumpet solo> fast jam> quick stop 2/ For Bix (3:52) – clarinet starts> slow jam builds in volume> muted trumpet solo> trombone solo> clarinet solo> slow jam> slow fade *3/ Midnight at The Piers (4:50) – clarinet starts> midtempo jam> swanky trumpet solo> midtempo jam> clarinet & trumpet trade solos> midtempo jam> piano solo> jam> quick stop *4/ Road Street Court Place Avenue Drive (4:45) – horns start> midtempo jam> clarinet solo swings up tempo> piano solo> horns solo> fast jam> bass solo> drum solo> swinging uptempo jam> quick stop 5/ Someday You’ll be Sorry (3:57) – clarinet/trumpet duet> > midtempo jam> female vocal> clarinet solo> song builds to crescendo & stops 6/ Waltz For Camila (3:28) – clarinet starts> midtempo jam> bass solo> piano solo> clarinet solo> midtempo jam slows to fade *7/ L.I.C.
