Charleston Time, the latest album by Don Webster's Charleston Band, is a delightful collection of swing and jazz tunes that will transport listeners back to the roaring twenties. From the opening track, "Charleston Time," to the closing number, "Ain't Misbehavin'," the album is a toe-tapping, finger-snapping journey through the music of the era.
Webster's band is made up of talented musicians who expertly capture the sound and feel of the time period. The brass section shines on tracks like "I Found a New Baby," while the piano and drums provide the perfect rhythm for the Charleston dance on "Sweet Georgia Brown." The vocal performances on the album are also noteworthy, particularly on the sultry "St. Louis Blues."
One of the standout tracks on the album is "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," which features a beautiful trumpet solo by Webster. The song is a testament to the band's ability to blend traditional jazz with modern sensibilities, making the music accessible to a new generation of listeners.
