Jessica Laurie Ensemble - Shop Of Wild Dreams - Uniti Core. Multi instrumentalist hardly does justice to Laurie who plays flute, tenor & alto sax, accordion, baritone ukulele & sings a bit. A rewarding album.
Knackering late shift so this album, played loud (very loud, lol) on headphones, is just perfect reinvigoration.
