- Things Ain't What They Used To Be - CD
- This newest album by Digby's Half-Dozen brillantly illustrates all the facets of the group that caused their first to be hailed by 'The Observer' in l998 as "relaxed, witty, amazingly accomplished. There cannot be another band with quite this range, from Dixieland via bebop to R'n'B'". Of this triumphant follow-up the 'Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD' commented "the Fairweather band sounds more alert and adventurous than ever! There are eighteen tracks here and every one is sharply crafted and dispatched. Digby's phrasing is exquisite!" » more »
