Between Us... (feat. Manu Delago) [Live]
Anoushka Shankar, Metropole Orkest & Jules Buckley ·2022
"Anushka, my girl Anushka Shankar, this is her new record 'Between Us...' with the Metropole Orchestra, Jules Buckley, and Manu Delago. It's like picks of some of her greatest songs arranged with the Metropole Orchestra, and you know Jules Buckley is fantastic. Anushka herself is just one of the greatest sitar players of the contemporary world."

Lady In Satin
Billie Holiday ·1958
"Of course Billie Holiday, I find that her stuff with orchestra is a little tight, as opposed to her just like scatting and going off in the club, you know, like from those recordings like the DECA recordings and stuff. But you know, Ry Ellis did a beautiful job on this one and you know she's just iconic. I love all of these songs."
