Red Norvo Trio - I Get A Kick Out Of You

Review by ApartHotel Iosefin Residence

The Red Norvo Trio's album, I Get A Kick Out Of You, is a delightful collection of jazz standards that showcases the trio's virtuosic musicianship and infectious energy. Norvo's vibraphone playing is particularly outstanding, as he weaves intricate melodies and harmonies around the swinging rhythms of bassist Red Mitchell and drummer Tal Farlow.

The album opens with the title track, a Cole Porter classic that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and playful improvisations. Other highlights include the Duke Ellington standard "Take The 'A' Train," which features some impressive solo work from Mitchell, and the sultry ballad "My Funny Valentine," which showcases Norvo's sensitive touch on the vibes.

Throughout the album, the trio displays a deep understanding of the jazz tradition, while also injecting their own unique personalities and musical ideas into each performance. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable album that will appeal to both die-hard jazz fans and casual listeners alike.
