Review:
“I was delighted when Andy asked me to write the foreword for this first CD release from Andy Firth’s Nova Swing. Under Andy’s direction they have put together a very likeable CD indeed!
Andy has succeeded in putting together a professional sounding band: good high quality arrangements, very well played and I can tell that their very accomplished sound can be easily replicated in a live performance-which is always a winner in my eyes!
I hope that they are delighted in the opportunity to work alongside Andy, who for me, is one of the finest musicians in the world bar none!
From up tempo standards to gentle ballads, this CD is so easy to listen to-such an important quality in an album.
It’s just a shame I don’t tour anymore as l’d love to be able to hear them live! But hey, I have the next best thing-this CD!
Once again Andy my friend, another tick in the excellent box of your many musical triumphs. Enjoy this everyone!”
