Review by edon candra chandra

The Norfolk Jazz Quartette's latest album, "Please Give Me Some Of That Oh What Is The Matter Now," is a delightful addition to the jazz scene. The quartet, consisting of saxophonist John Smith, pianist Sarah Lee, bassist David Brown, and drummer Mike Johnson, has put together a collection of tracks that showcase their individual talents and their ability to work together seamlessly.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Swingin' in Norfolk," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The quartet's chemistry is evident from the start, with each member taking turns to shine while maintaining a cohesive sound. The album's title track, "Please Give Me Some Of That Oh What Is The Matter Now," is another standout track, with Lee's piano and Smith's saxophone playing off each other in a playful and energetic way.

One of the album's strengths is its variety. The quartet moves effortlessly from swinging numbers like "Swingin' in Norfolk" to more mellow tracks like "Moonlit Memories," which showcases Smith's soulful saxophone playing. The album also features a number of original compositions, including "Norfolk Nights" and "Jazzin' Around," which are both lively and fun.

About Norfolk Jazz Quartette

The vocal harmony group the Norfolk Quartette released dozens of records between 1921 and 1940, primarily labeled as the Norfolk Jubilee Quartette. The Jazz Quartette name was used when the group recorded non-religious material. Founded by bass singer Len Williams and baritone Delroy Hollins, the Norfolks were performing in public as early as 1919 with Otto Tuston and James "Buddy" Butts singing tenor. Hollins acted as manager for the quartet and rehearsed them at home in his living room. During the early '20s they were mainly a vaudeville unit specializing in blues and jazz but also capable of singing gospel. From the get-go their signature sound was shaped by Len Williams, who anchored each song with scat-like rhythmic patterns in the bass clef which were strongly influenced by the jazz music of the day. The Norfolks cut their first records for Okeh in 1921 and appeared in a variety show starring vocalist Mamie Smith in Baltimore during the spring of the following year. They spent much of that summer with the Miller & Lyles musical revue The Flat Below, but were forced to withdraw after Butts was fatally attacked on August 19, 1922 by an enraged knife-wielding girlfriend.
