Enjoy!

Ö1 Kunstsonntag Radiosession / Austrian cultural radio

It was a great opportunity to create, record and broadcast this solo performance during the Corona Lockdown on this well-known Austrian radio station. It is a mix of fully improvised tunes and solo recordings of some of my tunes that have previously been recorded with different groups.

ECM 2028
Distances

Norma Winstone, England’s finest jazz vocalist, returns with a trio featuring German reedman Klaus Gesing and Italian pianist Glauco Venier (both of whom make their ECM debuts here) and a superb programme that takes in songs from Cole Porter to Peter Gabriel, a free calypso, a tribute to Coltrane, adaptations of Satie, folk songs, Pasolini and more and flows like an extended suite. Winstone’s lyrics reveal a real poetic sensibility, and both Gesing and Venier are fine jazz composers who put their considerable instrumental skills in the service of the songs. The result: a unique and special group language and one of the season’s outstanding recordings.
