BWB
Groovin'

And here I am reviewing my first album, as you can see I am still a beginner so any criticism or advice is welcome.

But now let's talk about the album, Groovin' is an album by BWB containing ten tracks, it starts with the title track, the beginning is composed of synthesizer as a "carpet" and soloists saxophone and trumpet, is it a jazz album or not? The piece continues briskly and each instrument will have its part to shine, in a few words, I don't want to keep you here and bore you, a fun well-done song, complete with various solos of trumpet, saxophone, guitars, keyboards as constant accompaniment, and piano, so what more could you want?

And without even noticing, we move on to the second track, "Brown Sugar," the start is always the same, trumpet, keyboards in the background, and a bass well highlighted, a slightly slower track than the previous one, and here we finally see again the saxophone-trumpet duo, with the saxophone this time highlighted, a duet really well done, in short, they are the main instruments of the track, but also of the whole album, and the bass is always there to accompany them, a good piece also this last one.

 Now it's time for "Ruby Baby," the structure is always sax and trumpet, but this time the trumpet takes more importance but there is always room for some brief saxophone solos, the main difference that exists between this piece and the previous ones is that piano and acoustic guitar also join the dance, the keyboards are certainly not just watching, they will always be there to make decorations, almost in a whisper, but they will always be present.

 "A Woman's Worth" is a blues piece that almost veers into tragedy given the start with violins really making us understand the sadness of this track, you can hear the blues notes (notes with lowered pitch by an octave) of the saxophone and the trumpet instead playing at high notes, almost reminiscent of a conversation between a man and a woman, the man with the deeper voice (saxophone) and the woman with the higher voice (trumpet) always with the constant of the bass, in short, this piece recalls two lovers at the moment they understand that it's over between them.

 "Hip Hug Here" is very similar to the second track, still with bass and keyboards accompanying and sax and trumpet doing the melody.

"Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" instead begins with the guitar and bass duo, in which saxophone, trumpet, and finally a hint of drums join, replacing the keyboards. 

In "Let's Do Again," the concept of lovers returns, indeed, it is the first track where there are voices, male and female, the female sings throughout the track while the male only during the choruses and together they sing let's do again, do it again, all accompanied always by saxophone, drums, keyboard, and bass.

"It's your Thing" starts with the guitar, then replaced by saxophone, bass, and tambourine, it is a decidedly more cheerful track than the previous ones and also a bit less demanding.

"Povo" starts with the bass taking the lead and the saxophone accompanying always in the company of percussion and keyboards, until the roles are reversed, the sax starts to do the melody and the bass the accompaniment.

 The last track of the album is "Up From The Down Stroke" to close the more than good album, very fun, in which a male choir continues to sing the chorus always accompanied by sax and bass.

A more than good album, it is a good representative of modern jazz, fun and with a great variety of notes played by the saxophone and trumpet, which always follow the concept of duo, throughout the album, in short if I were to give you a piece of advice it's to get it because it's an album that deserves it.
