this compilation brings you a non exhaustive example of some surprising
recordings by georgie fame, former musical director and longtime band
member of van morrison. the approach wasn't historical, nor in another mean
scientific. it reflects mainly the mood of a quiet evening, starting softly
and slowly with "girl talk" and gf's "declaration of love", takes later one
step beyond with "yeh yeh" and van morrison's "moondance" to meet the smoking
version of "walking one and only" and to close with three duets (including
the lately treed version of "melody", but here with removed acoustic watermark).
all sources are fm, tv or sbd. you'll find the disc information (incl. dates
and venues) below.
