Yes! Definitely! So good, love it so much that I spontaneously booked the Sunburst Band gig at the Jazz Cafe on Aug. 17th. Should be fun

After listening to the entire album a couple of times I predict this will be my summer music. Best release for me so far...

Included version of 'The Essential' and 'There Is A Dog' with Pete Ray Biggin on drums...

Ezzie Spezzie is also putting one out soon.

Defo comes into this category, one of my faves from this year so far. She sings a bit more on this album and that's no bad thing, lovely voice IMHO. Radio Song, Crowned & Kissed, Black Gold, City of Roses, great tunes..chuck in a couple of covers & her immaculate playing, it's a winner.

For all of you who like the Steely Dan stuff, Donald Fagen released "Sunken Condos" in october. The sound is familiar, the quality is high ... as ever.

Another one comes from New Zealand. This is one of the fresh productions called Kiwi Soul. Funkommunity released their first album "Chequered Thoughts".
