Muggsy Spanier - Hesitatin Blues
Review by Jochen Seidler
Hesitatin Blues by Muggsy Spanier is a classic jazz album that showcases the trumpeter's smooth and soulful playing style. Released in 1955, the album features a collection of traditional jazz tunes, including "Lonesome Road," "Royal Garden Blues," and "Darktown Strutters' Ball."
The album opens with "Lonesome Road," a slow and mournful tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Spanier's trumpet playing is delicate and emotive, perfectly capturing the melancholy mood of the song. The rest of the album follows suit, with Spanier's playing always remaining tasteful and understated.
One standout track is "Royal Garden Blues," a lively and upbeat tune that showcases Spanier's technical proficiency on the trumpet. His playing is fast and fluid, effortlessly weaving in and out of the song's complex melody. The rhythm section also shines on this track, with the piano and drums driving the song forward with infectious energy.
