Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with NYC Jazz Singer Hilary Gardner and Drummer Charles Ruggiero .. They opned up at length about their new 2019 CD release on the SmallsLIVE lable -“CHARLES RUGGIERO AND HILARY GARDNER PLAY THE BIRD AND THE BEE.” Smart, playful and swinging, this album is an unabashedly jazz- rooted tribute to one of the 21st century’s most compelling pop songbooks of the LA-based band The Bird and The Bee .. So these longtime friends initially connected over their shared love of the bird and the bee – a very talented synth-pop duo helmed by Greg Kurstin and Inara George. The bird and the bee made their recording debut on Blue Note Records in 2006, delighting mass audiences and musicians .. This album is their ultimate homage .. and we talked about it ..Click to listen.
