Earlier this year, the Smoking Time Jazz Club released their latest album and there is one song that really stands out from the rest – at least for me:

Great rhythm section, soulful vocals and solos, and that gloomy atmosphere.

Take Me Away From The River

I Need Someone Like You by Smoking Time Jazz Club

Here is Fletcher Henderson‘s original version from 1932:

It's not my goal to compare those two versions, because both are really great. It's just great to see how other bands are paraphrasing existing songs.

I'm happy, that we have so many contemporary bands playing this wonderful music!
