Ashley Slater Spotted In Soho

Met this shady character in Dean Street, Soho yesterday. He was playing the first of two nights in the Pizza Express Jazz Club - which is actually more like a jazz club and less like a pizza joint. Great sound, intimate venue. Tickets left for this evening's performance - well worth checking out.

Ashley and his band played a selection from his haunting new album Cellophane as well as some old faves from the olden days. The song I am singing this morning is a track he wrote with trumpeter Guy Barker which has the most beautful Cole Porter-ish melody.
