The Robin Nolan Swing Quartet's album Out Of Town is a delightful collection of jazz tunes that will transport listeners to another time and place. The quartet's signature blend of gypsy jazz and swing is on full display here, with Nolan's virtuosic guitar playing leading the way.
The album kicks off with the lively "Minor Swing," a classic Django Reinhardt tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Other standout tracks include the upbeat "Douce Ambiance," the sultry "Nuages," and the playful "Swing 39."
Throughout the album, the quartet's chemistry is undeniable. Nolan's guitar work is complemented perfectly by the accordion of Kevin Nolan, the bass of Simon Planting, and the percussion of Chris Quinn. The result is a cohesive sound that is both energetic and nuanced.
