One of the first noticeable things about this CD is the refreshingly un-hackneyed repertoire. Out of the 15 tracks, only 4 could be called “standards”. Take a listen to ‘I’m getting sentimental over you’, played at its’ original fox-trot speed rather than at the slow tempo that Tommy Dorsey’s million selling version popularised. The first solo is by Davy, the second by John and if you know that you’ll have difficulty in sorting out who plays what on the rest of the CD. The remaining three standards are Rodgers and Hart’s ‘I didn’t know what time it was’, the lovely Schwarz/Dietz ‘Alone Together’ and the Alter and Delange favourite ‘Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans’. For the rest, we have a couple of pieces from Pat Metheny, Duke Ellington’s gorgeous ‘Azalea’ (why this hasn’t joined the ranks of the Duke’s great standards is a mystery), Monk’s ‘Ask me now’ - pieces by Jobim, Michel Legrand and Don Grolnick plus a couple of tasty originals ‘Angela’s Sad Song’ and ‘Reckless Blues’, written by Davy and, as a bonus, sung by him too.
