Jessica Pilnas: Norma Deloris Egstrom – A Tribute To Peggy Lee
by Bruce Lindsay
Peggy Lee is not an artist who is usually associated with Sweden, but as Norma Deloris Egstrom--A Tribute To Peggy Lee indicates, her real name comes straight from her family's roots in that Scandinavian country. Singer Jessica Pilnäs is Swedish, although this link is of relatively little importance to the music on offer here. More vitally, ...
Georgina Jackson: Watch What Happens
by Bruce Lindsay
Georgina Jackson is an avowed fan of “cheesy disco."

Maurizio Minardi: My Piano Trio
by Bruce Lindsay
There's something rather endearing and self-effacing about Maurizio Minardi's decision to name this album My Piano Trio--even if the title isn't strictly accurate. The unpretentious title reflects the accessible and open nature of the music, but it's actually the product of two talented and imaginative trios: one from the UK, and the other from Italy.
