Review by Rumpus Untergrund

The album "The Reluctant Dragon Yes Indeed" by Tommy Tucker Time is a delightful collection of jazz tunes that will transport you back to the golden age of swing. From the opening track, "Jumpin' Jive," to the closing number, "Stompin' at the Savoy," the band's energy and enthusiasm are infectious.

Tommy Tucker Time's musicianship is on full display throughout the album, with impressive solos from each member of the band. The arrangements are tight and expertly executed, with each instrument complementing the others perfectly. The standout track is "Tuxedo Junction," which features a driving beat and a memorable melody that will get stuck in your head for days.

While the album is firmly rooted in the swing era, there are moments of experimentation and playfulness that keep things fresh. The title track, "The Reluctant Dragon," is a whimsical tune that showcases the band's sense of humor and willingness to take risks.
