Press Release :
'Little Steps' is the first single from the new album 'Everything Under The Sun' from Benedic Lamdin aka Nostalgia 77. This is a beautiful, sensuous, song-based track with soulful lyrics from Lizzy Parks who vocally bridges the gap between Ella Fitzgerald and Bjork.
'Little Steps' is a track full of emotion. Lamdin explains, "I wanted to continue developing the ideas I've explored in the other records, to take the emotional moods that are there and to vocalise them. I waqnted to write lyrics that reflected them."
Ben Lamdin, originally from Oxford, now living in Brigthon, started collecting British Jazz records in the 1990s, his passion and journey into writing and producing contnued from there.
In January 2007, Nostalgia 77 won Jazz Album Of The Year at the BBC Radio One Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards, and he was also runner up in the Session Of The Year category.
Nostalgia 77's new album "Everything Under The Sun" is out now and is bursting with lush, atmospheric and funky jazz. It is a jazz album that sounds as much classic, spiritual, impulse-influenced music as it does Cinemtic Orchestra and Koop. "Its like Portishead meets Charles Mingus!" says Lamdin.
