Demon Stich

Lenni: I lived in California for a year, and this next song [Rufus Wainwright’s Poses] reminds me of that for some reason.

Stich: Because everyone there is a poser?

Of the people Lenni Jabour could have picked to join her for her jazz-singing debut, I’d never have thought Stich Wynston‘s name would come up. It’s not because he’s not an excellent player–he definitely is–but I associate him so strongly with the Shuffle Demons that it’s hard to think of him doing anything more conventional. Yet there he was last night, drumming away behind pianist Adrean Farrugia, bassist Drew Birston, and chanteuse extraordinare Lenni.
