Jazz Cocktail Smoke Rings by Baron Lee and the Blue Rhythm Band is a delightful album that is sure to please jazz enthusiasts of all ages. The album is a perfect blend of classic jazz standards and modern interpretations that showcase the band's versatility and musical prowess.

The album opens with the upbeat track "Jive at Five," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight arrangements and crisp instrumentation are evident in every track, from the swinging "Lullaby of Birdland" to the soulful "Misty."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Smoke Rings," a haunting ballad that features the sultry vocals of guest artist, Lisa Maxwell. Her voice blends seamlessly with the band's lush instrumentation, creating a mesmerizing listening experience.

Baron Lee's piano playing is also a highlight of the album, particularly on the playful "Take the A Train" and the boisterous "Jumpin' at the Woodside." His mastery of the ivories is evident in every note he plays, and his solos are a joy to listen to.
