Review by Laurel Papworth

Humorous Intentions, the latest album by Tim Whitmer and The Kansas City Express, is a delightful collection of jazz tracks that will leave listeners tapping their feet and nodding their heads in appreciation. The album features a mix of original compositions and classic jazz standards, all of which are performed with impeccable musicianship and a sense of fun that is infectious.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Benny's Tune," a lively number that showcases the band's tight rhythm section and Whitmer's impressive keyboard skills. Another highlight is "When You're Smiling," a classic jazz standard that is given a fresh, upbeat treatment by the band.

Throughout the album, Whitmer's piano playing is a joy to listen to, as he effortlessly weaves intricate melodies and improvisations into each track. The other members of the band, including saxophonist Grego "Stretch" Spero and drummer Dan Doran, also shine with their virtuosic playing.
