Still sealed digipak

Bob Dorough, ah, he’s a bit of a legend. Possibly ingrained in the collective memories of everyone who was a fan of Schoolhouse Rock (and it’s magnificent and catchy soundtrack), the man introduced jazz to a lot of impressionable young ones. So the release of The Devil’s Best Tunes : The Beatnik Scat Of Bob Dorough is like catching up with an old friend and finding out that you might have drifted apart, but you still cherish those moments as kids. You can’t help but smile and feel like bobbing your head with this album. ‘Old Devil Moon’ has that staple of jazz: a very playful (and technically wonderful) bass. It’s a great way to open the shop, continuing the tradition with tracks like ‘Dog’ and the classy ‘Devil May Care’. The Devil’s Best Tunes… is a very enjoyable, peppy selection of jazz tunes that will have you reaching for a couple of Hurricanes, donning a Fedora and perhaps solve a few mysteries, like why The Clangers put up with the Soup Dragon instead of starting their own jazz band
