'wonderful inventiveness' JOEY REYNOLDS SHOW NYC

DSCF9324 CD Cover download2 DSCF9326 crop

Witty words, catchy tunes and multi-instrumental virtuosity, this cd tells you everything you ever wanted to know about the boy king with characteristic eccentricity, exuberance

and some stonking good tunes.

Commissioned by Superbreak for the 2007 Tutankhamun exhibition at O2 it was presented to 65,000 visiting clients.

Elegantly Wasted was the first CD to pair Casson's 'clear, haunting voice' with The Academy's 'percussion virtuosity'. It features the best in English songwriting from the last 80 years alongside Casson's original songs - all distilled into two people, a piano, and a crowded bar's worth of percussion.

Casson and the multi-talented Chris Brannick alias The Brannick Academy, have made magic together in a series of guises, since first working together in jazz-based trio Premier Cru (with cellist Catherine Black). Following a successful debut on the Edinburgh Fringe they recorded several sessions for Nightride BBC RADIO 2 as well as hosting a regular Sunday night Speakeasy in London.

Since then they have written and performed music for

Alice in Wonderland (British Library/Dreamchild)

Talk to Them (Arts Interactive) and songs for Tom Blackmore's

stage play Making History - Intimate Impressions of Nuremberg  

before going out on the road as a cabaret duo.
