Lately, Rico Tomasso has taken to streaming from his kitchen, inviting musicians to call round to play a few tunes. Last week pianist Will Barry was in the house, this evening our host was joined by guitarist Nils Solberg. A welcoming beer in hand, it was Solberg who took a first vocal on the Burton Lane-Frank Loesser number sung by Billie Holiday, Says My Heart. Another late thirties' number recorded by Billie Holiday, Me, Myself and I, appealed to Rico, so, he sang it.
We were up and running, shared vocals, Rico on trumpet and flugelhorn, Nils, guitar. Darn That Dream given a Latin treatment worked (Rico on flugel), Three Little Words (Bing sang it way back with the Rhythm Boys), As Time Goes By, this evening's set list included some rarely played tunes, a welcome move at that, considering many set lists can be somewhat predictable. More next Friday at seven o'clock. Russell
Set list included: Says My Heart; Me, Myself and I; Darn That Dream; Elizabeth; You've Changed; I Wished on the Moon; Three Little Words; As Time Goes By.
