Memory Lane - Autumn 2003

Rachael Pennell
Papa Said... (Lake)

Here we have a young and attractive fresh talent in superb voice performing from her repertoire of swing and blues numbers of the golden era, evoking memories of Etting, Holiday, Lee and Morgan. She is accompanied on this CD by Stan Greig's Best of British Sextet, namely Bruce Adams, Alan Barnes, Ian Bateman, Pete Skivington, Malcolm Mortimore and Ritchie Bryant on tracks 9, 11. There are three especially charming vocals on which Stan Greig's piano is the only accompaniment.
