WE WILL SING THESE SONGS BACK TO BACK. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

We plan to do both of these songs n our new Smugglers Concert. 8 bars of one followed by 8 bars of the other and so on. The first is about turning down someone who says "I love you". How Insensitive by Jobim of course. Geoff told us of these videos..

BUT we plan to have two our vocalists Maria and Nettie singing them alternatively to each other! How 21st century is that! All in the name of art. They'll be singing back to back if the plan works. What do you think ladies?

Steve Turner would be proud of the showmanship. By the way he has landed a gig for his SKA band at Glastonbury this year.

How Insensitive could have been the theme song of  Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto
since when they started their affair they were both already married. I'm not making light of it, it is always a horrible mess.




This one is by the lovely Julie London. Never any scandal about her - that we hear of anyway.




One of the nicest things about this job is that I get to listen to a huge amount of jazz on YouTube and Spotify.
