Fred Elizalde - Westward Bound Ol Man River
Review by Bryan Philips
Westward Bound Ol Man River is an album by the legendary Filipino musician Fred Elizalde, released in 1930. The album features Elizalde's unique blend of jazz and Filipino music, which he called "Rondalla Jazz."
The album opens with the title track, "Ol Man River," a classic jazz standard that Elizalde infuses with a lively Filipino rhythm. The next track, "Neneng," showcases Elizalde's virtuosity on the piano, as he weaves intricate melodies around a catchy bassline.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Manila Blues," a melancholy ballad that captures the essence of the city, and "Lulay," a lively tune that features Elizalde's Rondalla Jazz ensemble at their best.
