JUNE 17 - Thursday Tony Scott birthday - IRIDIUM concert # 1
Tony Scott & Buddy De Franco - guest Perry Robinson

" After the cake and singing and after the band was gone and the lights were up,
Tony was still onstage telling stories and eventually roped his daughter Monica into singing "Lush Life" backed by his piano playing (exceptional!).
She was taught the song as a young child and recorded it when she was 11 (spur of the moment after not seeing TS for 2 years).
I've long enjoyed the "cute" aspect of the recorded version, but she has a beautiful mature voice now and it was a very special treat to hear her revisit the song. Tony then proceeded to speak the song as a reprise. It's his favorite composition and he's recorded 2 entire albums filled with only that piece." from Michael Fitzgerald review.
