Everybody's song but my own
A long title for an LP that indicates that it contains titles composed by others.
Think of Rodgers, Freeman, Wheeler, Porter and Mancini. Jazz from start to finish.
Six titles including Two for the road and From this moment on. The recording dates from 2010 and was recorded at the Avatar Studio in New York.
Judgement
Venus Records, led by Tetsuo Hara and using their Venus Hyper Magnum Sound, always makes excellent LPs. The records are very popular and usually sold out quickly.
Great LP, lots of detail, good stage.
