Peggy O’ Keefe – Cubano Chant (Panorama) 7″

Pre-order for November 15th Nov.

Born in Australia and moving to the UK in her early 30s, Peggy O’Keefe became the resident pianist at the Chevalier Casino in Glasgow in 1962. Initially the residency was for six months, which then turned into six years. It was at this point she recorded her ‘Mood Chevalier’ LP in 1966, a collection of the band’s favourites but the gold is found in her version of ‘Cubano Chant’, made famous by Art Blakey and then played across jazz dances ever since.Peggy’s playing was admired by Cleo Laine and Oscar Peterson, and once had a brief, impromptu duet with Frank Sinatra, Peggy and her band showed their true talent with these two versions of jazz favourites.Hiding in the shadows for nearly 60 years, Now PANORAMA unearth this gem in their trademark 7 inch format, from a Glaswegian restaurant to a dancefloor near you.
