Review by Menno Zeilstra

The Forest View High School Jazz Band has released their latest album, titled "1975," and it is an impressive showcase of their talents. The album is a tribute to the iconic jazz music of the 1970s, and the band does an excellent job of capturing the essence of the era.

From the opening track, "Chameleon," the band sets the tone for the album with their tight, groovy rhythms and intricate solos. The album also features several original compositions, including "Funky Times" and "The Groove Machine," which are both standout tracks.

One of the strengths of the album is the band's ability to switch seamlessly between different styles and moods. On tracks like "Watermelon Man" and "Maiden Voyage," they showcase their ability to play with a more laid-back, contemplative feel, while on "Birdland" and "Pick Up the Pieces," they bring a high-energy, funky vibe.
