"It’s not just the music or the musicians; "Swings Both Ways" is about the experience, the concept, and Pages straddles both worlds – the slick and the seedy, the bright and the dark..." (For full CD review, go to main "Andree Pages" page.)
I. Some Enchanted Evening: Out at the Hotel
Club
The tinkling of the ivories, the fizz of cymbals and champagne, the smell of Chanel,
of sophistication
(a gamba solo?), the feel of smooth moves, polished surfaces, gleaming
lights, dancing cheek to (close-shaven) cheek...
Sample the medium swing "Nature
Boy," sultry ballad "Lover Man," and hard-swinging "St. Louis Blues."
Andrée Pagès, vocals
Tom Nelson, piano
Jay Elfenbein, bass and viola da gamba
Peter Grant, drums

II. In the Wee, Small Hours: The Basement Dive
Two players wander into the night and meet an old friend; risky behavior ensues, darker,
rawer, looser - a different mood, close shaves of another kind
Sample the medium-swing "Moonglow,"
haunting ballad "My Man's Gone Now,"
and poignant "Whatshername."
