Elles Bailey - Beneath The Neon Glow - VINYL LP

Can't Take My Story Away is a journey through the tangled threads of human connection. It flows through the quiet, secret conversations we have with ourselves, the way we reach out and connect to the world around us, and the slow, painful unraveling of ties to those who once held power over us. Yet in that unraveling, there is liberation-a lightness, a joy. It sings of being loved not in spite of your quirks, but because of them and there is a quiet strength running through this album-and a deep-rooted honesty. It speaks of the beauty of healthy relationships, while reminding that the truest story we own is the one we write for ourselves.

Bassist Alec Dankworth utilizes a trio and without a percussionist. Here, the twice voted British Jazz bassist of the year is joined by the evocative saxophone of Julian Arguelles and guitarist Phil Robson. His parents - saxophonist John Dankworth and singer Cleo Laine, are the closest thing to jazz royalty. Given such a pedigree, it's hardly a surprise that Dankworth ended up following some leviathan musical footsteps. One of Dankworth's most influential encounters was with Abdullah Ibrahim, whose composition 'Msunduza,' features on this album. Also included is Dankworth's take on Bobby Troup's 'The Meaning of the Blues' and Brubeck's 'The Duke.'
