Review of Hoagy II — “The performances on the album are all first-class, the arrangements neat and interesting, and the variety beyond reproach.”

Back in April I had the great pleasure and honour to play bass with Chris Ingham (piano and voice), Paul Higgs (trumpet) and George Double (drums) on a second CD of Hoagy Carmichael’s songs. The first CD, recorded in 2014, was very well received and reviewed (see for example this review in the Observer). Well, the second CD is out now and, I’m pleased to say, also seems to be being well received, as this review in the London Jazz Times will reveal. If the reviews intrigue or even excite you, then you can buy CDs or downloads directly from Chris Ingham’s website:
