ECM

Den estniska vokalensemblen Vox Clamantis och deras ledare Jaan-Eik Tulve har under ett kvarts sekel av nära samarbete med tonsättaren etablerat sig som några av de främsta uttolkarna av Arvo Pärts musik. And I Heard a Voice, inspelad i Haapsalu domkyrka i Estland och utgiven i samband med att Arvo Pärt fyller 90 år, visar att samspelet mellan kör och tonsättare, förankrat i en gemensam känsla för både gammal gregoriansk sång och nutida musik, fortsätter att fördjupas.

The great British jazz singer Norma Winstone once again casts her net wide for source material for this third ECM album with Italian pianist Glauco Venier and German clarinetist / saxophonist Klaus Gesing. Alongside new pieces by Winstone/Gesing and by Venier, the trio covers tunes by singer-songwriters Nick Drake, Fred Neil and Tom Waits. They take a fresh approach to Madonna's "Live To Tell", and to Dave Grusin's "It Might Be You", as well as Ralph Towner's "A Breath Away" (now with lyrics by Norma) and "Bein' Green", a children's song elevated to jazz standard status by Sinatra, Stan Kenton, Ray Charles and many more. "As Winstone moves ever farther from the Great American Songbook," All About Jazz observed, "it's certain that, with band mates as sympathetic as Gesing and Venier, there's precious little she can't do."
