00:05:57Well we opened with one of mine, it's called Trick or Treat, don't ask me why.
00:06:06I wrote this ages ago and I pulled it out on the gig with Mark Nightingale who's played
00:06:10here and he said, oh it sounds like the flumps and I never knew what the flumps were.
00:06:15Does anybody know what the flumps were?
00:06:16And I never played it again and I dragged it out recently and here it is.
00:06:21That's Alex Clark on the alto saxophone.
00:06:26And that's the first tune we've played together in performance.
00:06:30So I'm focusing on some of the songwriters who are less well known this time and the next
00:06:39one is by Sigmund Romberg who was an operetta composer, went to Hollywood and if you believe
00:06:45the biopic he didn't want to write popular music and then he had a hit and he sort of changed
00:06:52his mind and he wrote lots of very successful operators.
00:06:56There are not many of his tunes that are played by jazz musicians.
00:06:59There's one, what's it called, Softly as in the Morning Sunrise everybody plays and what's
00:07:06the one?
00:07:06Lover Come Back.
00:07:07Lover Come Back to Me is another one but not that many.
00:07:09This one is for some reason has slipped through the woodwork.
00:07:12It's a wonderful tune and it's called Close as Pages in a Book and we're going to start
00:07:18with Fraser Urquhart who's going to give us a little introduction to this.
