I 1976 I bought a strange album called "Music from The Penguin Cafe" by Penguin Cafe Orchestra (and later I bought some more, oh yes). I'm quite sure I tried it out because it was on Brian Eno's Obscure label. If this band is not charming, well I don't know. It is 10 years since the founder Simon Jeffes died, and now the band seem to have got together again, performing in London December 11-13.
The trombone player in the video is Annie Whitehead, who fronted the band performing "Soupsongs Live. The music of Robert Wyatt" (JAZZPRINT 2000).
