Review by Carlos Chavez

The Piccadilly Revels Band has released their latest album, Brown Sugar Dream Of Love And You, and it is a delightful addition to their discography. The band's sound is a fusion of jazz, swing, and big band, and they have managed to create a unique blend of music that is both nostalgic and modern.

The album opens with the upbeat and playful "Brown Sugar," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The band's brass section shines on tracks like "Jumpin' At The Jive" and "Swingin' The Blues," while their slower, more romantic numbers like "Dream Of Love And You" and "Moonlight Serenade" showcase the band's versatility.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Take The 'A' Train," a classic Duke Ellington tune that the Piccadilly Revels Band has given their own spin. The song features a fantastic saxophone solo and a driving rhythm section that will have listeners tapping their feet.

Jonathan, nobody has mentioned it, but you did an excellent job with the visuals, too. The pictures were interesting and well edited.

Anyone out there in YouTube Land know if there were other bands around at the same time going by the same name, seems unlikely, but I've pictures of my grandfather in The Piccadilly Revels behind the drums.

Who knows why echoey halls were used. Perhaps acoustic studios recorded electrically as too boxy; they could be sweat boxes. Columbia wasn't alone; some used Kingsway Hall (excellent for Decca's classical recordings in the 60s/70s, despite rumbles from the underground). Electra had a thing for swimming pool acoustics too.

Americans didn't seem taken with having "recorded in a public hall" on their labels or sound (until Mitch Miller made artificial reverb his signature in the early 50s!).

While we're on it - do you have any idea why Columbia decided to use these large halls so much?

If you dislike that, then I don't think you'll like a Kit-Cat band record I picked up recently. "Here am I, broken hearted" - recorded in Westminster Hall. It's worse than the Hylton sides!

Another great offering from the Piccadilly Revels, but໿ I cannot agree with you about the use of the Wigmore Hall with relatively distant microphone placing. Audience-less, as it was for recordings, the Hall has cavernous acoustics making bands sound like they're at the far end of an Olympic indoor swimming pool. Electra had a fondness for the Beethovensaal in Berlin which can be heard adding equally cavernous acoustics to some Jack Hylton recordings (amongst others).
