Words & Music West,paul & Brown,mark

Without a bit of pretension but with a whole lot of swing, Paul West and Mark Brown, musical collaborators for over 25 years, take those years of performing and writing together to create an intimate and joyous album of great, new, American music. Switching off on piano, voice, and the occasional blues harp, they also bring along guests such as trombonist Bill Reichenbach and multi-instrumentalist Dave Raynor to shape a variety of music, from Hope & Crosby on the Road-type dialogues to the Lambert, Hendricks and Ross treatment of "Shout It", based on Dizzy's "Groovin' High."
