The UK seven-piece Gabby Young & Other Animals are a band that defies labels, juggling a bewildering range of musical genres from to big-band jazz to opera, cabaret to folk, klezmer to bossa nova and more. Fronted by the inimitably stylish, operatic-toned Miss Young, the band is spectacular live. On record there are songs to make the party start and others to provide chilled contemplation. “One Foot In Front Of The Other” is the combo’s third studio album and compounds the best of Young’s earlier work with energetic workouts balanced by reflective beauty, the latter no better verified than by the stunning “Fear Of Flying.”
