Sing and you'll be fed: Cool crooner James Hudson is back with 10 tracks ingeniously arranged and faithful largely to a 1950s sound - the title track goes back further and is an effortlessly swinging version of the Artie Shaw, Arthur Quenzer, Paul Madison classic 'Moonray' first issued in 1939 and covered down the years by Shaw himself with Helen Forrest and by Ella Fitzgerald, Dakota Staton and Claire Martin among many others.

If you are into singers like Anthony Strong or Alexander Stewart you will be right at home with Hudson's approach and his terrific treatment of the standard has a fine, vibes, horns and rhythm section arrangement by saxist Tom Smith.

Recorded at Livingston in north London - a studio famed for a raft of World Circuit label recordings and where Björk's Debut was recorded in the early-1990s - Hudson is with Smith, the increasingly ubiquitous trumpeter Tom Walsh, pianist Joe Hill, vibist Ralph Wyld channelling Margie Hyams a bit, bassist Jack Tustin, guitarist Nick Fitch and drummer Luke Tomlinson clip-clopping away on the title track to effect.

Bobby Hebb's 'Sunny' is among the familiar tracks. But hold on. When was the last time that you came across a cover of 1930s song Rodgers and Hart's cheerful 'Sing For Your Supper'? OK top Scottish jazz singer Carol Kidd covered the song in the 1980s. And there have been a few versions since. We turn to Mel Tormé's 1956 version most - the Velvet Fog with the Marty Paich Dek-Tette - ''Dine with wine of choice, if romance is in your voice'' as the lyrics have it. Hudson's stands up to reasonable comparison more than well. The jazz singer is playing Pizza Express Jazz Club, London on 3 June
