Excellently judged low brass to underpin the outro.

See, hear - he's not trying to overstretch his vocal limitations.

He's keeping in well in step with the melody and tempo.

They did an album called "In Praise Of Older Women... And Other Crimes" you know.

Anyway it is over.

Well, there were a couple of, if not exactly duff moments, rather (perhaps) lulls during proceedings.

But those "lulls" weren't ever bad, just perhaps a bit predictable and frantically Salsa/mambo-y for my tastes.

Anyway, the negative stuff out of the way, it was terrifically terrific.

Charming, engaging and groovily louche and hedonistic - but in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

Then, on several occasions, it actually went from being really entertaining fun to actually Great (with a capital G).

Ultimately I'd summarise it as being like a spicy meal served at a bar you chanced upon (with all beers and a perhaps a margarita or 9 or 114) that was really tasty and surprising and really hit the 'spot'.

I want to give it top marks but...
