Fud Candrix And His Orchestra - Discretion Continental Bounce

Review by Jacob Western

Fud Candrix And His Orchestra's album, Discretion Continental Bounce, is a delightful collection of swing and jazz tunes that transport the listener to a bygone era. The orchestra's tight arrangements and Candrix's virtuosic saxophone playing are the standout features of the album.

The opening track, "Swingin' on the Continent", sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. The album features several vocal tracks, including "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter" and "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", which showcase the orchestra's ability to accompany a singer with finesse.

One of the album's highlights is the instrumental track "Discretion Continental Bounce", which features a lively call-and-response between the horns and the rhythm section. Candrix's saxophone solo on this track is particularly impressive.

The album's sound quality is excellent, considering that it was originally recorded in the late 1940s. The remastered version brings out the nuances of the orchestra's performance and allows the listener to appreciate the musicianship of each member.

Summary by Jacob Western

Discretion Continental Bounce is a must-have for fans of swing and jazz music. Fud Candrix And His Orchestra's energy and enthusiasm are infectious, making this album a joy to listen to from start to finish.
