I'll cheekily sneak in this week with my long promised post of Kip Hanrahan's Tenderness.
There's not too much to say about this album, other than that it's long been a favourite of Sandra's, and that I first heard it on a long weekend in Paris, which might well have coloured my own impression of it. It's not exactly jazz, nor folk, nor is it really rock, and it isn't really a latin percussion album either.
I'm guessing you'll either love it or hate it, although some of you might also be completely indifferent to it...
I do suspect you'll get more out of it if you listen to it while relaxing with a glass of wine rather than while jogging through a busy city quarter, though, and you're probably better off dipping into it rather than trying to listen to it all in one go.
Otherwise this is how the album describes itself..
