Michel Montand et Son Orchestre's album Blue Bird Casbah is a delightful collection of jazz and swing music that showcases the band's impressive musical talents. The album features a mix of original compositions and classic jazz standards, all performed with a lively energy and an infectious sense of joy.
From the opening track "Blue Bird Casbah" to the closing number "Swingin' in the Rain," the album is a non-stop celebration of swing music. Montand's saxophone playing is particularly impressive, with his solos on tracks like "Stompin' at the Savoy" and "Sweet Georgia Brown" standing out as highlights of the album.
The band's rhythm section is also top-notch, with tight drumming and bass playing providing a solid foundation for the rest of the group to build on. The horn section is equally impressive, with trumpet, trombone, and saxophone players all contributing to the album's rich, full sound.
