Don Glori
Dont Forget To Have Fun (coloured vinyl)

Multi instrumentalist Don Glori (Gordon Li) hails from Melbourne Australia but is now based in London. His second album ‘Don’t Forget To Have Fun’ released on the Deep Matter label is a great follow up to his excellent debut ‘Welcome’ and recorded with
some of Melbourne’s finest Jazz musicians. Don plays keyboards, piano, basses and percussion. ‘Emerald’ is a lovely 9 minute multi paced track that starts out slow and moody then builds into a Jazz Funk groove then changes pace again. It features some nice sax playing from Lachlan Thompson and tight horn riffs over Glori’s keys and a steady beat from drummer Tim Cox. ‘All Seeds’ is a Brazilian samba groove that shuffles along nicely. ‘First Touch’ is more down tempo which like Emerald and All Seeds illustrates a strong Azymuth influence. The three part track ‘Theme For A Dream’ features vocals from Hannah McKittrick and Bianca Kyriacou. Very nice album from a rising star.
