Album Notes

1. Rum Rhumba 5:03
This gently swaying tune with a Latin beat is about falling in love while dancing on a warm tropic evening. Features a great solo on the clarinet by Adrian Whitehead
2. Cold Feet 2:55
Falling in love can be a daunting experience as portrayed in this Bossa about getting used to the fear of surrender.

The desire to get more than you have and never being satisfied with what you’ve got, all to a Motown groove with horns and wurlitzer.

This samba is a celebration of the delights of a local shopping strip. It features a contagious horn arrangement by Matt Amy.
5. Twice On Sundays 3:22
Love is for every day of the week, but especially on Sundays. This tune has a New Orleans trad feel and a clarinet solo to match.

Surf, sand, sun and a little bit psychedelic, everything you’d expect from a summer holiday on the coast.
