Audio 2 Feb [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Bryony James - Summertime, from her 1969 album “Feeling Good”.

The most lively, swinging, dancefloor-stomping rendition of “Summertime” in existence!

This is why digging is so much fun… There’s literally tons of amazing undiscovered music from yesteryear. Anytime you feel unsatisfied with the current output of music, I recommend taking a dive into the thousands of vinyl blogs on the internet (or, if you have the means, real-life record stores). The feeling when you discover a beautiful song is exceptional…

Played 9 times.
