Free Music Review: Smooth operator.
Hit: 4 Stars
The latest offering from the American tenor saxophonist features 10 numbers with British links, though this is really an excuse for a catchy title and the chance to resurrect some lovely, lesser-heard songs.
America's leading swing-era revivalist, makes nimble work of Britain's best songwriters, including Ray Noble ("Cherokee, The Very Thought of You").
"Limehouse Blues", by Phil Braham, and "Just in Time", whose composer Jule Styne reached New York at eight but was born in London, inspire Harry's most fluent solos.
Guest trombonist John Allred also sparkles and guitarist Joe Cohn (son of tenor legend Al) marshals an impeccable rhythm section.
With his regular guitar-led trio augmented by trombone star John Allred, this is a classy collection which shows that in addition to his mellifluous, breathy balladeering, Allen can power a band through such storming uptempo numbers as 'Cherokee'.
My favourite tracks : "You're Blasé" and "The Very Thought of You".
