Shades of Blue Season 2

Dickon’s unique style of composition and arrangements developed from his classical study of the violin and song writing and recording in bands. A multi-instrumentalist – guitar, violin, banjo, piano – he is a founder member of the British band Tindersticks with whom he wrote orchestral arrangements, recorded numerous albums and toured worldwide.

The Best Sixties Album contains the defining tracks of the decade and features some of the biggest hits from artists including Scott McKenzie, The Byrds, The Moody Blues, Del Shannon, Andy Williams, Sly & The Family Stone, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette and many more.

On Manu Katché’s third ECM album, released in 2010, the French-African drummer surrounds himself with a fresh group of musicians spearheaded by bassist Pino Palladino who effortlessly reinforces the groove; as a rhythm section Katché and Palladino are truly in synch, having shared much history as session players over the years. Pianist Jason Rebello reveals both delicacy of touch and energy to burn and saxophonist Tore Brunborg solos passionately while guest guitarist Jacob Young shades and colours a handful of pieces and trumpeter Kami Lyle appears on "Flower Skin". Lyle also provides vocals on the country-flavoured "Stay With You" which she co-wrote with Katché.
