Miss Smith To You! @320
Miss Smith To You! @320
Lavay Smith is sadly a rarity today. You will be very hard pressed to find another singer of her caliber anywhere. She brings you back to the day of Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald, when clubs and concert halls where filled when a songstress, backed by a big band could take a song and real make it her own and make you feel it, make you want to get up and dance to it, be it slow of fast.
"Miss Smith To You!" is Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet-Lickers third album, and it matches if not surpasses previous the previous efforts with a great selection of songs, superb performances, and quality production. The songs range from slow ballads to medium tempo swings. Through it all Miss Smith is able to show off her voice and personality.
So in conclusion, if this is a style of music you enjoy (Big Band/Vocal Jazz), I do not think this album will disappoint you. It has a great selection of classic songs, the music of a talented group of musicians and the voice of one of the few who can really pull it off. To me this album really is a complete package, and I hope you can enjoy it as much as I have. (Amazon Review)

Various - 12X12 Vol.6 (2026) 320 π
* Sorry just didn't find the time last week, too many gigs and other things got in the way of things. So this vol 6 is a bit of a rush job, hence 2 tracks together by the same artist, but i like that to be honest, it works. Will try to get a load made up ready just to post. But we are really busy remodelling things at home, and the in laws are moving so we are helping them as well. Not enough hours in the day at the moment. *
* This compilation plays for about 80 minutes. *

Leftfield - Leftism 2017 Remix CD (only) Flacπ
* As I posted the album on the last post, I decided to post the remix version from the 2017 double CD version, I don't have both cd's in Flac, I only saved the Remix album as Flac, which is the whole album remixed, am sure many will enjoy and find this an interesting listen. I believe it was also issued as Leftism 22, also in 2017. *
