String Swing "Red Shoes" Album Review

Stunning Debut!
How can you not love an album with songs - that bag the Frogs (French), mentions Bradd Pitt (Wake Up), named after a fraud (Anna Castberg - who falsified credentials). Josefine Cronholm delivers a beautiful rendition of the Janet Jackson dance hit "Together Again". Also notable are the songs sung in (probably) Danish - including "How Insensitive". Musicianship is of the highest standards - this album truly swings.

Chucho Valdes "Fantasia Cubana" Album Review

SUBLIME!
A WONDERFUL RECITAL!! If you listen to a little classical music, like the 'modern' French Romantics - Debussy and Ravel, then you'll appreciate Chucho's interpretations, which evoke great passion, romance and, of course, humour!! His interpretations are evocative and lyrical, and moreso still classical, rather than jazz. Musically, technically, and acoustically this is a great listen!! SUBLIME!!
