Album Information:
"Beautiful" Clive James
"A stunning vocal spectrum, simultaneously warm and cool, sweet and salty,
tough and tender... hauntingly gorgeous" Jazz Times USA
'A Lazy Kind Of Love'. It marks an exciting new direction for Sarah
and looks set to confirm her reputation as one of the UK's finest
interpreters of modern song. Building on the success of her two highly
acclaimed releases for Linn Records, 'A Lazy Kind Of Love'
is packed with surprising, intriguing and delightful songs delivered
with insight, character and a seductive lightness of touch, which
combine to draw the listener into the world of each lyric. The songs
come from Beat Generation Survivor Fran Landesman and Simon Wallace;
Julie Burchill, who makes her song co-writing debut with Landesman and
Wallace on the title track; Australian writer and broadcaster Clive
James and his longtime song-writing partner Pete Atkin, who sings
harmony vocals on 'Living In Overdrive'; and composer and producer (and
Madonna's brother-in-law) Joe Henry. Complementing these contemporary
songs are the Bob Dorough/Terrell Kirk Jnr classic 'Devil May Care', and
Jule Styne/Sammy Cahn's 'I Fall In Love Too Easily'.
Produced and arranged by Simon Wallace, this collection
reflects his thirty year musical career performing around the world from
Bogota to Bangkok, London, New York and Europe. With Sarah at its centre, Wallace has assembled a group of outstanding British musicians, the core of which is the trio with whom Sarah
has been working regularly for a number of years - Simon Wallace
(piano), Mark Hodgson (bass) and Paul Robinson (drums). In addition 'A Lazy Kind Of Love'
features Alec Dankworth playing bass on two tracks, Mike Outram on
guitar, Clive Bell on shakuhachi, Alan Barnes on saxes and Paul Clarvis
on percussion.
"An original voice with something, in spirit at least, of the
melancholy gaiety of the great Billie Holiday" George Melly
