Margaret Thatcher? No, Oscar Wilde’s legendary gorgon from The Importance of Being Earnest, Lady Bracknell. Were you, like, acquainted?” “We had a couple of interests in common,” he drawls. His excellent new album, Afterglow (for which the legendary Blue Thumb label was re-activated), sees him in Harry Connick Jr big band territory (he’s a friend of Harry Sr), singing the sophisticated blues of Charles Brown and Louis Jordan which his mother was so fond of.
