Music created about 100 years ago still sounds fresh with these two ladies…
Husky voiced Sweet Megg joins with reed man Rickey Alexanders team for a collection of two stepping pre-swing era dandies. The two have fun on a vocal duet on a cozy “Last Night On the Back Porch” while Megg has a twinkle in her eye with the plunging brass on “Squeeze Me”. Some Bechet-inspired soprano sax adds to “Right Or Wrong” and Alexander’s reeds swoon on “Angry” with some relaxed Lester Young tones on the relaxed “Foolin’ Myself” has wide fingers as he strides through “Ragged But Right”. 78s spun just right.
Wistful toned Tatiana Eva-Marie joins with pianist Terry Waldo’s band for relaxed parlor tunes. A trumpet that plunges deeper than J-Lo’s neckline two steps with Eva-Marie boop a dopping on “Button Up Your Overcoat” while the team has a fun jump on the vaudevillian “Be Sweet To Me”. The team gets languid on “I Must Have That Man” and the team is cozy and oozy on the nostalgic “The Very Thought Of You” while Eva-Marie reclines in your arms on “Two Sleep People”. Sepia tones.
