Ray reminding us what to do on a sunny day. Walk out of the office, round up three fit birds in bathing suits and gear up for an afternoon you will remember. On Let's get away from it all (Columbia CL 1097), Ray Ellis (1923-2008) treats us on some 40 minutes of Big Band, not entirely unlike Quincy Jones' Soul Bossa Nova which, as any Snag* should know, is of course the soundtrack to the only white boy who could ever upstage James Brown: Austin Powers. Now go and Behave!
* Not the Australian sausage but the Sensitive New Age Gentleman who, it cannot be stressed enough, is a completely different animal from the Sensitive New Age Guy.
