{"product_id":"standards-vol-iii","title":"Standards Vol III","description":"\u003cp\u003eThird Album by the Bill Wells project and if one is to take heed of the age-old advice of not judging a book by its cover, then it's wise to also apply that caution to CDs, for the group is neither jazz nor a trio, although it is at least partly Scottish. Wells has been part of the Scottish Jazz scene since the late 80s, but has always enjoyed working with musicians in the Indie sector, including stints as a collaborator and arranger with Isobel Campbell, Jad Fair, Kevin Ayers, Future Pilot AKA and Japanese naivists Maher Shalal Hash Baz. He also worked with German electronica artists Stefan Schneider and Barbara Morgenstern and recorded Lemondale, an experimental, pop-tinged collection recorded with an eclectic cast of local musicians in Japan in 2011. The National Jazz Trio Of Scotland consists of Wells on samples, with a trio of female vocalists: Aby Vulliamy, Kate Sugden and Lorna Gilfedder. Onstage, Aby plays viola, Kate marimba and other potential live players include Teenage Fanclub guitarist Norman Blake and Babe vocalist Gerard Black. Wells wrote all the songs on the album with the exception of the Beach Boys' \"With Me Tonight\" and the lyrics to \"Surprising Word\", written by Saya from the Japanese band, Tenniscoats, and \"Trying To Escape You\", written by Lorna Gilfedder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karaoke Kalk","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50451462619467,"sku":"375937","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_8982767f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1731568313","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/standards-vol-iii","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
