Wigald Boning is a German comedian (I know, I know – INSERT YOUR OWN JOKE HERE) and ‘Jet Set Jazz’ is his first serious musical release on the fantastic Compost label. Apparently. But when this landed on my desk, I couldn’t resist falling for it’s zany charm. With esteemed modern contempories such as Christian Prommer (Drumlesson) and Roberto Di Gioia (Marsmobil) at the helm, this is a creamy mix of exotica, cocktail-lite jazz and elegant easy listening lounge sounds and who doesn’t like that?

‘Ballade Pour Alexa’ is one hell of a charming 70s cocktail lounge seduction song and believe me it will blow you away with it’s romantic qualities as well as making you want to have a cocktail on a beach somewhere. With a loved one or someone. Anyway, get ready for some seduction!
