LITTLE WOODSTAR/FILMORE STREET

If you’ve a taste for music that is highly original without being idiosyncratic, contemporary without being merely trendy, learned yet not in the least academic, serious even when it’s light and amusing, and entertaining in the very best sense of the word, I urge you to investigate this album.
