Description
Terry Edwards & Neil Fraser - Beyond Harlem Nocturne
Harlem Nocturne - the Earle Hagen standard recorded by Edwards a couple of times in the past, this tips its’ hat to the swampy version by New Jersey’s Viscounts, with tremolo guitar backing the lead - played on a bright, brash plastic alto saxophone!
Lullaby for Ian - a contemplative duet for guitar and flute, written by Edwards on hearing of his teenage hero Ian Dury’s terminal cancer. The flute lines are reminiscent of the Kes soundtrack, played by Harold McNair, and the title refers to Lullaby for Franci/es on the Blockheads’ album Do It Yourself.
Factory Girls - a Tindersticks song taken from the comfort-zone of Falling Down A Mountain and redefined with a vulnerable Chet Baker-style vocal, culminating in wild, angry shards of guitars and sax in the coda.
Curve Ball - Edwards & Fraser’s first writing collaboration which is rooted in a swinging, repetitive chord sequence, embroidered with Neil’s inventive lead-lines and layered drones, accompanied by rich baritone saxophone roots.
