Jimmy McPartland And His Dixieland Band - Royal Garden Blues In A Mist

Review by Gini Briggs

Royal Garden Blues In A Mist by Jimmy McPartland And His Dixieland Band is an excellent album that showcases the band's mastery of the Dixieland jazz genre. The album features a mix of classic tunes and original compositions, all performed with precision and energy.

The band's instrumentation is tight and well-balanced, with McPartland's trumpet leading the way. The rhythm section of piano, bass, and drums keeps things moving along while the clarinet and trombone add their own distinctive voices to the mix.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the title track, "Royal Garden Blues," which features some impressive solo work from McPartland and the other members of the band. Another highlight is "In A Mist," a beautiful ballad that showcases McPartland's lyrical playing.

Summary by Gini Briggs

Royal Garden Blues In A Mist is a must-have album for fans of Dixieland jazz. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of this classic American music and a showcase for the talents of Jimmy McPartland and his band. Highly recommended.
