Born in Australia and moving to the UK in her early 30's, Peggy O'Keefe became the resident pianist at the Chevalier Casino in Glasgow in 1962. Initially the residency was for six months, which then turned into six years. It was at this point she recorded her 'Mood Chevalier' LP in 1966, a collection of the band's favorites. But the gold is found in her version of 'Cubano Chant', made famous by Art Blakey in 1957 and then played across jazz dances ever since. They deliver an equally stunning cover of Antonio Carlos Jobim's 'O Morro Nao Tem Vez' on the B-side. Peggy's playing was admired by Cleo Laine and Oscar Peterson, and she once had a brief, impromptu duet with Frank Sinatra. Peggy and her band showed their true talent with these two versions of jazz favorites. Hiding in the shadows for nearly 60 years, Now PANORAMA unearths this gem in the label's trademark 7 inch format, from a Glaswegian restaurant to a dancefloor near you. PANORAMA Records is an emerging new label based in London, dedicated to rediscovering and showcasing musical gems with a fresh approach. With early support from notable DJs such as Gilles Peterson, Patrick Forge, Rainer Trueby, Mr Bongo DJs and Zag Erlat from My Analog Journal. Their unique take on Jazz and Funk from further afield has shown they will become trailblazers in the reissue game for a long time.
