Dave Shepherd & Becky Price, Ashburnham
(2001) Beautiful Jo records BEJOCD-36
Those not familiar with Ashburnham and who appreciates the Blowzabella’s sound, must buy this CD (advice to buy http://www.bejo.co.uk/bejo/html/shop.htm ): a great job with a great sensitivity, beginning with the schottish written by Dave - the title track -. The atmosphere is refined but intense at the same time, Dave Shepherd’s violin and Becky Price's piano come together beautifully. The packaging is fairly reticent about the graphical aspects, a bit 'exotic-colonial cover, and moreover with so respect to the title of this CD.
Chi non conoscesse questo "Ashburnham" e apprezza il sound "Blowzabella", deve proprio acquistare questo cd di non facile reperibilità: un lavoro magnifico, di grande sensibilità, a cominciare dalla scottish scritta da Dave che da titolo al disco. Le atmosfere sono raffinate ma intense nello stesso tempo, il violino di Dave Shepherd e il piano di Becky Price si incontrano meravigliosamente. La confezione è abbastanza reticente riguardo agli aspetti grafici, un po' esotico-coloniali, della copertina, e ancor di più lo è riguardo al titolo del cd.
