Man Overboard – Old Man of the Mountain

A quirky little song about living free and not having a care in the world performed by swing jazz band Man Overboard.

This song was one of those things that is all the more delightful from being a completely random discovery – I happened to catch the band playing it live on Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’ programme one evening whilst stuck in traffic on the way to a piano lesson. The boy and I were both captivated by it and I immediately bought the whole album.
