I LOVE that first line, and Ms. Barber's vocals. It makes me want to watch "Cabaret" or "Victor/Victoria" again. Smoky, sexy, ambiguous, dangerous... Yep. Love this one. Stingray, go tell your mommy she wants you...

  This is a wonderfully retro-style song evoking smoky lounges, louche ladies, and is oh so decadent, my dear. And as it's about a jazz player then the opening line seems pretty reasonable to me. 8 from the Nottingham jury. |

If you added some scratches and pops, and varied the speed a touch, this could have been recorded in the 20's or 30's - and considered timeless today. Love Jill's voice - makes me want to . . .learn to sing!

Jill's man actually plays in her band, but not a piano. Not when I've seen 'em anyway, but who knows what they do after curtain close?

Arf!  Hey, how do you know that Stingray's not doing these dastardly things, and posting to RP is just a bit of light relief for our resident troll? Even villains plotting world domination have to relax some time, you know :o) |

It's a great day for clarinet players on RP. Bill knows his audience  But clarinet smilies are sorely lacking. |
