About

Joe Stilgoe's blend of imaginative song choices, virtuosic pianism and remarkable voice are showcased perfectly in this live album recorded at the London Jazz Festival in 2013.

With a voice that has attracted comparisons with Harry Connick Jr, Michael Buble and Jamie Cullum and a playing style likened to the great Oscar Peterson, Joe Stilgoe displays charm, wit and sincerity in equal measure as he tackles a diverse selection of songs linked by the theme of film which The Sunday Times described as ‘a touching yet quirky selection of stardust memories.'

A fast-paced romp through well-known cartoon theme tunes opens the show before Joe turns his attention to numbers as varied as You Give A Little Love from Bugsy Malone, S'Wonderful from An American In Paris and a heart-wrenching rendition of If I Only Had A Brain from The Wizard Of Oz. A gifted and intelligent lyricist, Joe's song-writing skills are in evidence; the elegiac Gold On Silver pulls at the heartstrings, Popcorn is an irreverent nod to the multiplexes whilst his wistful ballad (That's The Way It Crumbles) Cookie-Wise was inspired by Billy Wilder's The Apartment.
