When I'm at a loose end as to what to listen to whilst blogging I sometimes close my eyes and pick the first CD my paws land on. Like a fisherman who throws a fish that is too small back into the water I sometimes move on to the next one.
Tonight I did just that. I'd landed on Stanley Turrentine's The Common Touch a fine album but it was getting late so I moved alphabetically on. The Roly Veitch Trio - Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams.
Why not? I hadn't played it for a while and, as I soon discovered, it has most certainly, like good wine, matured with age - vintage 2006.
Quite a unique trio record. Guitar and vocal (Roly); Trumpet and flugel (Noel Dennis); Double bass (Neil Harland). If this disc had been around in the 1950's I rather feel it would have provided the background to as many romantic encounters as did Frank's Songs For Swinging Lovers and that is some comparision to make!
Thinks - perhaps I should keep it in the car stereo just in case although this time round I can hardly Blame It On My Youth...
Lance.
