    I've picked up many great sides from this excellent blog, and this is a current favourite. I downloaded it some time back but have only recently been giving it a good hearing. Very good well played and arranged music, sounding particularly good on what is in fact a bright sunny day in Wales!

    I find the britjazz blog very helpful and informative, so good luck for the future. So much of this good music would be unheard without your efforts.

    After hearing Piano Moods (yes, I came to it belatedly), I can't wait to lay on ear on this one.

    Thanks very much, delmonico and Rodney.
