:: NEW RELEASE! NEW RELEASE! Ence Records would like to announce the latest release by Jazz Guitarist, Neil C. Young, My Crazy Pony EP.

:: My Crazy Pony EP is a 5 track EP which uses old ideas but brought bang up to date through new, powerful and moving arrangements. From the opening Benny Vitamins, soaked in hard Jazz Funk, to the peaceful and moving Ballade, through the strong Latin flavour of Time will Sing onto the cheeky and intriguingly titled Ha det bra and finally to the uplifting and upbeat I think her name. An exciting collection of tunes with strong ideas, great playing, from an exciting new artist!
