jazz talking

Went to see Gwyneth Herbert before xmas at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho. She's an excellent young jazz singer who has just released her new album, this time primarily of her own and jointly written material. See her website http://www.gwynethherbert.com/ where i think the album can be bought 'Between Me and the Wardrobe'. She was at Durham at the same time as Sarah, who remembers seeing her sing there.
Also just got a new jazz cd by someone not known to me, 'Good rain' by Solveig Slettahjell. She has a really interesting voice.Another artist worth listening to is Zoe Rahman http://www.zoerahman.com/ and her latest album 'Melting Pot'. Again almost entirely her own material on the album, although my favourite track is the one she didn't write, Muchhe Jaoa Dinguli. Having said that the whole album is different and i found grows on me the more i play it, particularly late evening.
