Please Don't Bug Me (Frank Rosolino) 1961

The EP Sessions. EP means 'extended play' and usually falls between the length of a single, and the length of a full album.

Blah, blah, blah. It's Valentine's Day.. the Hetty way.

It's been a long time since I've been in the recording studio with my own project. Though there hasn't been much time to actually record, I've been full of ideas, both big and small! Releasing an EP for Valentine's Day has been something I've wanted to do for a long time, so I'm thrilled I had the opportunity to get in the studio when I was on tour in Australia during 2022.

On this recording I'm lucky to be accompanied by three wonderful musicians. Mark Fitzgibbon is an award winning jazz pianist and one of Australia's great musical treasures. Guitarist Sam Lemann is a long time collaborator and treasured friend whom some of you may recognised from the days of the "Irwell Street String Band", a group we founded together. Another close friend, Ben Hanlon, is an incredible double bassist, a principal with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and an 'in demand' sideman for Australia's finest jazz musicians and vocalists. You can enjoy his playing on my 2019 album release 'Under Paris Skies'.

I'm very happy to have this recording and the warm memory of a fun winter afternoon in the studio with Niko Schauble at Pughouse in Melbourne. Making music with friends you admire and enjoy, is there anything better?

"truly one of the best swing-style vocalists (I’m talking 1940, Benny Goodman style 4/4 swing) on the current scene.."
