As some of you may know I work switchboard for a radio show that features a vintage lifestyle themed show on Wednesdays called the Vintage Lifestyle Hour and recently they started playing new “old” music, meaning old fashioned musical acts, during their breaks and one of the albums currently on their playlist is Gelber & Manning‘s new album Moonlight Picnic.
So far I’ve had By The Light of the Silver Moon and Mandy on repeat (both in my head and via the switchboard), and I’m actually loving it even more than Gelber & Manning Goes Public (which has my favorite from them, Poor Butterfly) and that’s saying a lot since it’s another that’s on repeat for me.
Even among vintage acts you don’t get this level of authenticity often, it’s very rare to hear a jazz piano like Gelber’s and Manning’s voice is clear, young and bright – and above all they really get it.
I’ll go into the track listing and whatnot when I get some time, but do yourself a favor and head to GelberandManning.com and at least listen to their stuff, you won’t be disappointed!
