Digital Booklet

“This Noel Cowardish poison-pen clerihew is absolutely irresistible and must be heard to be believed. In both departments of his musical activities, as composer or performer, Chandos has done Bennett proud.”
- Fanfare
“His light, husky voice and cool piano conjure up exactly the right late-night atmosphere, heavy with stale smoke, second-hand drink and occasional maudlin disillusion. Many of the songs here, such as the impish ‘Early to bed’, are his own, laid-back and wry, with wittily Wodehouseian lyrics.”
- BBC Music Magazine
Words and Music sees the late, great, and multitalented Sir Richard Rodney Bennett performing jazzed up songs from the 1930s and 40s by the likes of George Gershwin and Richard Rogers complemented by some from his own pen, including the title track and the witty and bittersweet Goodbye for Now.
