When compiling the most recent edition of their "Praise Poems" compilation series, the dusty-fingered diggers at TRAMP Records decided to include a cut from Marva Josie's 1973 album-length collaboration with the Earl "Fatha" Hines Orchestra, "This Is Marva Josie". That track, the brilliant soul-jazz breeze that is "He Does It Better", is here reissued on "45" for the first time. It features Josie's sweetly sassy lead vocal sitting atop a sparse but swinging jazz groove and some seriously good piano playing. You'll find another gem from that album on side B: Josie's orchestral jazz rendition of English folk standard - and Simon & Garfunkel favourite - "Scarborough Fair". If anything, that's even better than the A-side - and that's saying something.
