Dedicated to violinist heroes Yehudi Menuhin and Stéphane Grappelli, Nigel Kennedy's new album – "music I have either grown up with or feel I have grown up with" – mixes classical, hot club, moody jazz and traditional fiddling, from Fats Waller to Bach. Kennedy's Brubeck tribute version of Take Five ends with some Bartók-like pizzicato he claims is Morse for "take five". Bach gets his own backing track, and what Kennedy does to the Double Concerto is anyone's business. It's authentic Nigel but inauthentic everything else, which you will like (I did) or not, according to taste. The four-piece band comprises second violin/viola, acoustic guitar and 12-string, bass and drums. It's all irresistible. Kennedy's UK tour starts on 24 April.
