Stan Cool, January 28, 2005
This review is from: I'll Be Around (Audio CD)
The legendary british Jazz musician Humphrey Lyttleton apparently refers to this relatively new kid on the block as Stan Cool (Dun Stan Coul ber... get it) and its a pretty good summation of this musicians skills. Got this album recently and saw him do a live gig last week at a jazz club in London. A real classy performer which switches between saxopohone and clarinet with consummate ease. And when he and the band kick intoi a number they blow up a storm. It's a nice blend of the modern with a real sense of melody. he loves the great songwriters of the first half of the 20th century - cole porter, gershwin, irving berlin... and they feature heavily. First listened to this while on a plane flying oiver icebergs. Now that was just the right kind of cool thing to do.
