Description
Between them Jeff Barnhart and Spats Langham have been on more LAKE CDs than any other artists, but this is only their second album together. American pianist, singer and raconteur Jeff Barnhart tours the UK twice a year playing to sell out crowds in Jazz Clubs, theatres and festivals.
A consummate musician Jeff is able to play in a variety of styles including Stride and Ragtime. Spats has been a member of The Temperance Seven, The Charleston Chasers, the Pasadena Roof Orchestra as well as fronting and recording with his own Hot Combination and Hot Fingers. His guitar playing owes much to the 1920s and 30s players like Eddie Lang and his banjo playing recalls Harry Reser. Both are outstanding musicians and Just Jazz Magazine summed up their previous CD as "two seasoned musicians singing and playing their hearts out on a great selection of tunes". It was a winning formula which they have used again on this album.
