The Bird and the Bee The Bird and the Bee
The jazz-indie fusion continues apace as Inara George, daughter of Little Feat's Lowell George, steps up to the plate with collaborator, multi-intrumentalist, and producer Greg Kurstin. At times like an advert soundtrack, The Bird and the Bee is not without its good bits.
