Review by Shaina Olmanson

Blues In Summertime by Guy Lafitte is a delightful album that showcases the saxophonist's mastery of the blues genre. The album features a collection of tracks that are perfect for a lazy summer afternoon, with Lafitte's soulful saxophone playing complemented by the smooth rhythms of his band.

The album opens with the title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its laid-back groove and catchy melody. Other standout tracks include "Blue And Sentimental" and "Blues For Basie", both of which feature some impressive improvisation from Lafitte.
