For the first time in my life, I’m actually in a jazz band. I should caveat that claim by saying that my maybe-bandmates haven’t yet heard me play so, by the time you read this, it may no longer be true. Still, I’ve got myself a portable piano and I’m learning how to comp—and albums like this one are proving an invaluable inspiration. I’m talking about Easy To Love, the latest offering from Hal Smith and friends, featuring vocalist Meryl Zimmerman.

The joy of digging through thrift store vinyl crates is the prospect of discovering new arrangements, new songs, even new bands or composers which had previously escaped my attention.

Hello, reader—it’s been a while. (Happy New Year, by the way!) A while since I wrote, a while since I danced—a while since I did anything fun, to be honest. I suppose I’d been in a malaise since Christmas (our second without Dad), and it’s taken some medicinal music to lift me out of the funk and get me back to the things I enjoy—including tipping you to the hottest new jazz that money can buy.
