On "Blue Pepper", modern swing band Echoes Of Swing open a new chapter, a quantum leap forward from their last award winning release, with even more impressive arrangements and some outstanding original pieces. A concept album of sorts, all the tracks have the word "blue" in their titles or concern themselves with the colour. The legacy of the swing era is safe in the hands of these fine musicians.

It's hard to believe at first that there are only four instruments here. The arrangements are so ingenious, and the playing so nimble, that it could be at least twice that number. But listen closely and you will discover just a quartet of trumpet, alto saxophone, piano and drums – with absolutely no electronic tricks. The style is sophisticated small-band swing, the material a judicious mixture of originals and swing-era numbers and there is not a hint of whiskery nostalgia in any of it. It's about time this idiom received some fresh attention and here's the perfect curtain-raiser.
