Description
In 2019, Alex Mendham & His Orchestra made their first appearance in California, at the famed Cicada Club and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere at the club and enthusiasm of the guests that night. Little did they know that several months later the pandemic would hit that live performing would grind to a halt. This video is their message of hope for the future.
In the 1930s, Anson Weeks & His Orchestra played nightly in San Francisco at the Mark Hopkins Hotel on top of Nob Hill overlooking the gorgeous panoramas of the bay below.
Let's Fly Away is a relatively obscure composition by Cole Porter and recorded by the Week' band in 1932 - The lyrics are pure nostalgic escapism at it's best and we all feel that need to get away from the difficult times we are all facing.
We hope you enjoy our video - with aerial views of San Francisco and the Alex Mendham recreation of the Anson Weeks sound. To order a copy of the whole album please visit - https://www.alexmendham.com/product-page/puttin-on-the-ritz-new-album
