Liane Carroll - Billy No Mates
|
|
Our Price: £10.79 Inc VAT
|
|
|
It was in 2003 with her first solo release, 'Billy No Mates,' that Liane was first recognised as a solo artist to watch. Recorded entirely live with just vocals and piano, it is a haunting and intimate collection of jazz standards and originals tinged with a soul sensibility that is at the same time fragile, powerful and often intensely moving.
"Very few singers produce solo albums, and for good reason. It takes a very special talent to be so exposed and still sound great from the first track to the last. Liane, without question, has that talent." Steve Rubie

Richard Fairhurst - Standing Tall
|
|
Our Price: £10.79 Inc VAT
|
|
|
Fairhurst is joined here by an excellent band of British musicians, including Tim Giles (drums) and James Allsop (saxes), and the music draws on the sound of the 1970s Herbie Hancock Mwandishi band and the same era's Miles Davis, but he couples it with home-grown elements including the melodic quirkiness of the Loose Tubes school, Iain Ballamy having been an early Fairhurst mentor.
"Award-winning young pianist Richard Fairhurst is a powerful keyboard virtuoso capable of both meditation and funkiness." John Fordham - The Guardian
