Louise Hobbs - listen

Angel eyes	(Dennis/Brent)
Usually sung as a ballad, we've spiced it up but it still retains that eerie and obsessive feel.
My funny valentine	(Rodgers/Hart)
A great song sung by all the greats, it's also been given every treatment - ballad, swing, fast, slow. Here we play it as a medium swing number.
The lies of handsome men	(Francesca Blumenthal)
We've drawn on Blossom Dearie's arrangement of this ballad which is both poignant and witty - the lyrics show great insight into the female psyche.
A beautiful friendship	(Kahn/Styne)
A jazz standard, but surprisingly not sung as widely as other songs. Here we do it as a straight swing number.
How insensitive	(Antonio Carlos Jobim)
A well known bossa by the composer of "The Girl from Ipanema".
