Recorded Live In Person by Ray Anthony And His Bookend Revue is a fantastic album that showcases the talent and energy of this talented band. Featuring a mix of swing, jazz, and big band music, the album captures the excitement and electricity of a live performance.
From the opening notes of "Opus One" to the closing chords of "The Stripper," Recorded Live In Person is a non-stop thrill ride of great music. Ray Anthony and his band are in top form throughout, delivering tight, energetic performances that are sure to get your toes tapping.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Harlem Nocturne," which features some amazing saxophone playing by the band's lead saxophonist. The song builds to a frenzied crescendo, with the saxophone wailing and the drums pounding out a driving beat.
Another highlight of the album is "I've Got You Under My Skin," a classic song that gets a fresh and lively treatment from Ray Anthony and his band. The horns are particularly impressive on this track, with some great solos and intricate harmonies.
