Susan Gai Dowling Band - Rent Party

An upbeat program of standards and lesser known gems (including Spike Milligan's That Tune!) from a great band and a vocalist with plenty of attack and personality.

'Led by Australian vocalist Susan Gai Dowling, who's perfectly good, but the most distinctive voice here belongs to the amazing alto player Bernie McGann...When he's not around you have time to catch your breath and notice the other players like Dowling, a buoyant pop vocalist, Dave Levy, a nimble pianist, or the super-tight rhythm section of Lloyd Swanton and John Pochee...If (McGann) was American he would have reached "next big thing" status years ago. A good session that occasionally touches greatness thanks to McGann' Jerome Wilson CADENCE
