“Fantastic songs played by a great band. So good to hear this inspired combination of musicians, some from the "new" crop of young cats and a couple of established ones, putting their stamp on some great Abel Cross songs inspired by the jazz of the 40s and 50s. Beautiful playing all-round on an excellent record.”
