THE ROADSTARS JAZZ BAND: NEW AND IMPROVED ALBUM REVIEW

New and Improved, the tongue-in-cheek title of The Roadstars Jazz Band, is a charming collection of jazz favorites that bop and tug at your heart strings. Long time Roadstars band leader Lance Buller is a showman to the last bit, and the band’s charisma transcends the optical disc.

Buller kicks us off with quick and tight trumpet licks on “Lester Leaps In” and continues with tasteful trumpet solos and wistful verses on “Just Friends”. Teddy Dortch’s masterful flute and saxophone playing dazzles us, with a particularly moving saxophone solo on Jimmy Van Heusen’s “Polka Dots & Moonbeams”. Guitarist Chris Spencer and bass player Wayne Bliss play with elegant reserve on the Horace Silver favorite “Song For My Father” and Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World”. Drummer Andre Thomas transitions seamlessly through the generations of music, taking us as far back as 1919 with the final track “Royal Garden Blues”, one of the earliest popular jazz tunes written by Spencer Williams.

The album is filled with jives, laughs and audacious solos, and fits perfectly inside every car stereo and CD player. Better yet, if you’re entertaining any nuptial notions hire these guys immediately!
