THE SYMPHONIC SOUNDS OF STUDIO GHIBLI (London Jazz Cafe, 12/01/20)



Tend to set my expectations low for tribute concerts as they often prove a pale imitation of the real thing, but Stompy's Playground string-based effort was a genuine triumph. The Laputa, Spirited Away and Totoro selections were delightful, I was obviously chuffed to see the ever-underrated Porco Rosso get its due, and Whisper of The Heart was an unexpected highlight with its spontaneous audience sing-along.
