Baby I'm a Fool is a collaboration between

Alison and trumpet player Adam Linsley.

​

"Our combined love of standards was the original idea for the project. We sat down to write a list of tunes that we wanted

to record and took inspiration from a wider musical world. 

We added some very personal choices: "Baby I'm a Fool' and

I'II Be Here With You, songs we shared and recorded

together during the Covid lockdown in 2021.

We also penned a tribute to Alison's late father,

Gordon Henry Jiear, celebrating some of his funny sayings.

Not only was he a real-life O07. but he also played the cornet. Adam recorded the track on Gordon's 1940's Besson cornet.​"
