Take That Back is a jazz quartet made up of some seriously talented musicians. Led by reed players Joan Hutton and Sue Orfield, the group will release their sophomore album, Splash, on Friday, July 26th. The song “Playhouse Bats” sounds right at home with other groove-oriented jazz, but upon more listens, I discovered its unique, snazzy feel. They sound great! I’ve only heard this one song off the album and it definitely meets my expectations–surpasses them even. The way the tenor and alto sax talk to each other…chef’s kiss! Give this spunky song a listen and mark your calendars for Saturday, August 3rd, when Take That Back celebrate their new release with a show at Crooners.
Hot New Local Singles highlights new, local songs. Minnesota has a lot of great jazz, funk, soul, and jazz- adjacent music. Jazz88 is highlighting what is fresh.
