By the time vocalist Norma Winstone recorded this, her first solo album, she was already an integral part of the emerging new British Jazz scene, which completely revolutionized the meaning and the borders of the Jazz Art Form and made it a part of the European Cultural heritage. Since the late 1960s young British Jazz musicians decided to leave behind the clearly defined and pretty limited American Jazz forms and stretch them beyond recognition, creating a new musical universe. Winstone was right at the epicenter of this new creative eruption and her contributions made a significant mark on a large portion of the British Jazz recordings at the time, when she was a member of groups led by Michael Garrick or Mike Westbrook and sang on albums recorded by John Surman, Kenny Wheeler, John Taylor, Michael Gibbs, Neil Ardley and others.

Winstone has a unique approach to vocals, which puts the human voice on an equal level with the instruments and allows her to perform using vocalese and other wordless techniques, which becomes as important as singing lyrics, which in most cases she writes herself. This approach earned her a respected position of the "resident" vocalist of the British scene at the time, which was reflected by the numerous albums she appeared on.

The album includes seven original pieces, four of which were composed by pianist John Taylor, two by John Surman and the remaining one by John Warren. The lineup reads like a who's who of the British Jazz scene at the time and includes saxophonists Art Themen, Mike Osborne and Alan Skidmore, trumpeters Henry Lowther and Kenny Wheeler, trombonists Malcolm Griffiths, Chris Pyne and Paul Rutherford, vibraphonist Frank Ricotti, pianist John Taylor, guitarist Gary Boyle, bassist Chris Laurence and drummer Tony Levin. The arrangements and settings move between intimate duets to a large scale massive Big Band sound and present the full scale of the Winstone's vocal abilities and her amazing diversity.

It's pretty remarkable that in the forty plus years that passed since this album was released it lost absolutely nothing of its vitality, freshness and musical boldness. It still kicks butt and makes your body swing involuntarily, exactly as it did when I heard it for the first time. The fact that this music is available again is a joyful occasion indeed and in the sad days of dying Culture a graceful reminder of what used to be considered as music is most refreshing.

This is a definite classic recording of the British / European Jazz history and a milestone in the history of Jazz vocals and should be an essential part of any serious music collection.   WHY NOT CHECK OUT MY EBAY STORE -
