Club Royal Orchestra - Wimmin Good Bye Shanghai

Review by Chris Smerz

Club Royal Orchestra's album, Wimmin Good Bye Shanghai, is a stunning tribute to the jazz music of the 1920s and 30s. The album features a range of classic jazz standards, such as "St. Louis Blues" and "Tiger Rag," as well as some lesser-known gems from the era.

The musicianship on this album is top-notch, with each member of the orchestra bringing their own unique style to the table. The horns are bright and brassy, the rhythm section is tight and swinging, and the vocalists are soulful and expressive.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Shanghai Shuffle," which features a lively call-and-response between the horns and the vocalist. Another highlight is "Minnie the Moocher," which features some impressive scatting from the singer.

Summary by Chris Smerz

Wimmin Good Bye Shanghai is a fantastic album that captures the spirit and energy of the jazz age. Whether you're a die-hard jazz fan or just looking for some fun, upbeat music, this album is definitely worth a listen.
