Review by Marten Steppat

Vienna City Of My Dreams Just Too Shy by Earl Bostic And His Orchestra – A Jazz Gem That Stays With You Man, if you’ve never heard this 1957 release from Earl Bostic and his crew, you’re missing out on something special. This album isn’t just jazz; it’s like a warm hug on a cold night. Released under King Records, Vienna City Of My Dreams Just Too Shy is one of those records that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. It’s got soul, swing, and just enough swagger to make your day brighter. Now, I gotta talk about “Just Too Shy.” Oh boy, this track hits different. The saxophone—that’s Earl doing his thing—feels like it’s talking directly to ya. Like, imagine being at some smoky club in the ‘50s, nursing a drink, and suddenly this tune comes on. You can’t help but feel a little lighter, even if you’re sitting there thinking about all the stuff you didn’t say to someone. That melody? Super smooth but kinda shy itself, like it doesn’t wanna overwhelm you. But trust me, it does. It sticks with you long after the needle lifts off the record. Then there’s “Vienna, City Of My Dreams.” Wow, this one feels like stepping into an old black-and-white movie. There’s this dreamy vibe running through it, almost nostalgic, as if Earl’s trying to paint a picture of Vienna without using words. The horns swell in all the right places, and for a moment, you’re not in your living room anymore—you’re strolling down cobblestone streets, imagining yourself as part of some romantic European story. Honestly, every time I hear it, I think about places I’ve never been and people I’ll probably never meet. Weird, right? But that’s what great music does—it takes you somewhere else entirely. Earl Bostic and his orchestra weren’t messing around here. They knew how to craft sounds that stick to your bones. This album might be over 60 years old, but man, it still feels fresh. Maybe because life back then wasn’t so different—we were all chasing dreams, falling short sometimes, and finding comfort in good tunes. Here’s the kicker though: listening to this record makes me wonder why we don’t have more moments like these anymore. Not everything has to be loud or flashy to grab our attention. Sometimes, simplicity and heart are more than enough. So yeah, give this one a spin. Let it remind you that even in 2023, there’s beauty in slowing down and letting the music speak for itself.
