Bent Fabric, the Danish, piano-playing wizard, strikes again with his second major label release, The Happy Puppy. Continuing his drunken-saloon style of wistful merriment, Mr. Bent Fabricius-Bjerre couples intensity with enjoyable amusement, and he does it with animal-loving flair. Animal-friendly piano geniuses need recognition, this, is evident.
The Prudent Groove 
Well, PG, I have to say that this wasn’t what I expected at all. Sixties hurdy gurdy piano played with kitsch conviction. Probably won’t knock Bill Evans off the top of my keyboard ladder!
This is good summer fodder. I’m a fan of the covers first, music second. What caught my eye was 1964’s The Drunken Penguin. A strong sense of humor goes a long way around here. 🙂 I’m desperately hoping to make a dent into the VC back catalog this weekend. Guilt has not allowed me to forget. 🙂
Cute puppy, though.
