Fletcher Henderson And His Orchestra - Limehouse Blues Big Johns Special

Review by Jasson Cascante

Fletcher Henderson And His Orchestra's album Limehouse Blues Big Johns Special is a masterpiece of Jazz music. The album, released in 1928, features some of the most talented musicians of the era, including Henderson himself on the piano, Louis Armstrong on the trumpet, and Coleman Hawkins on the tenor saxophone.

The album's title track, "Limehouse Blues," is a standout. The haunting melody and intricate arrangement showcase the band's virtuosity and musicality. The track is a perfect example of Henderson's ability to blend different musical styles, from the blues to traditional jazz, into a cohesive and unique sound.

Other highlights of the album include "Sugar Foot Stomp," a swinging and upbeat number that showcases Armstrong's incredible improvisational skills, and "Copenhagen," a lively tune that features Hawkins' virtuosic saxophone playing.
