Search - Mose Scarlett :: The Fundamental Things

Swing and blues with fingerstyle guitar and a truly mellow voice. Mose Scarlett's silky baritone voice is in fine form and his fingerpicking guitar sparkles on these wonderful old songs from the 20's, 30's, and 40's. Whether picking the blues or crooning new life into some of the most beautiful songs ever written, Mose Scarlett is truly an original. Mose makes well-known songs like "Sweet Georgia Brown," "The Sheik of Araby," and "Marie" come alive in his own inimitable style, but he also introduces lesser-known gems like "The Moon is a Silver Dollar." Several tracks recorded live at the Free Times Cafe in Toronto with musical friend Ken Whiteley add to the fun, and a host of other guests drop by to add more swing and pizzaz to the mix. Featuring Ken Whiteley, Jackie Washington, Victor Bateman, Rosemary Galloway, Bucky Berger, John Sheard, Evan Price, Jim Galloway, Laurie Bower, Chris Whiteley, Tony Quarrington, John Weisman, Cherie Camp, Geoff Kahnert, and the Hobo's Lullabye Chorus.
