Moments Worth Listening For
The delicate, almost whispered delivery of the opening lines on 'Isn’t This a Lovely Day' that makes the room feel smaller.
The playful rhythmic bounce between the saxophone and vocals during the bridge of 'I Won’t Dance'.
The transition into a deeper, more melancholic register during the extended outro of 'One for My Baby'.
