Review of Sly Crooner Episode #5 "A Valentine For Cosmo"Now that's a lovely piece of work. The Sly Crooner manages to take the listener on a trip without he/she even having to leave the room. But not just a trip to somewhere; no, a trip to sometime. A trip to a time before class and style were hummed and drummed out of life, before aesthetics were measured by accountants and nothing had any value besides the number on the far side of the dollar sign.

Review of Sly Crooner Episode #5 "A Valentine For Cosmo"
I love this original, entertaining, swingin' show. Geoffrey Tozer puts the class and fun back into jazz.
Remember those great old album covers with a beautiful, seductive woman on the cover enticing you into her world? Somehow, if you just gave a listen, you'd be hipper, happier and, if you were a guy, get that fabulous woman on the cover and, if you were a gal, become that woman on the cover. In short, you'd be swanky!
Geoffrey brings this feeling back with each episode. And frankly, can there be too much swank in our lives? I think not. Excuse me while I freshen my martini . . . **
