A collection of nine Hempton originals, some dead-classy Duke Ellington, and a cowboy song, Odd Man Out is an all-swinging outing that takes up where The Business left off.
Held together by a slightly mysterious tone, the new album is a tip of the fedora to the styles and characters of the Noir genre; and highlights commanding performances from the original Hempton Band line-up, plus the stunning talents of trombonist Michael Dease!
