"Mouth Music" / Rhiannon Giddens (2015)

Randy Sloan June 12, 2020
I dare you to keep your body still while listening to this. It’s a cross between jazz scat and mouth music in the Gaellic tradition.

Lambert, Hendricks & Ross - How have I never heard of them?

Randy Sloan July 28, 2015

There are only two albums on Spotify, but this is some great jazz vocals. The trio was active 1957-1964.

João Gilberto | Getz/Gilberto #1001Albums

Randy Sloan January 26, 2015

I'm a big Stan Getz fan, however, this album is a little low-key for my jazz tastes. It's pretty, and would make excellent background music to a romantic dinner for two in front of a fire. Perhaps you could get up to dance with your sweetheart after dinner -- at least if you know how to dance. I don't.
