Claire Martin and Ray Gelato are artists at the top of their game and this recording is a tour de force: the combination of Ray's sax and Claire's voice has created an album which is irresistible.
The song selection is a delicious serving of some of the most
sumptuous morsels in the Great American Songbook including a
classy R&B treatment of Billie Holiday's 'Now Baby Or Never'.
The breadth of Claire's stylistic and vocal range is perfectly displayed
among these tracks: listen to her boogaloo take on 'You Came A Long
Way From St. Louis' or her interpretation of the melody on 'More
Than You Know', which is a vocal masterclass.
Ray's brilliant original 'A Swingin' Affair' sets the tone for an album
that is the perfect antidote to 21st century life.
The duo is accompanied by a trio of world-class musicians: pianist
David Newton (Stacey Kent), bassist Dave Whitford (Bobby Wellins
Quartet) and drummer Sébastian de Krom (Jamie Cullum).
