COCKTAILS FOR TWO * BABA BROOKS RECORDING BAND FEATURING SAMMY ISMAY * DOCTOR BIRD 1024 * UK
Sammy Ismay plays a Blusey saxophone all the way through this mid tempo Ska cut, with more than just a hint of Latin rhythm; it is one of the many records that took me a long time to appreciate what they had to offer. It is rewarding in more ways than one when finally I get to delight in hearing a track I had previously thought was dud, because it usually opens up another whole genre along with it, within which there lurk other hiden gems or genres, and so it goes on musically extending outwards.
