British singer Wendy Kirkland brings an easy-going, distinctly Anglicised vocal style to this collection, offering a refreshing alternative to the usual jazz barroom stylisation. With a natural, unforced delivery, she interprets the material with warmth and clarity, allowing the songs to breathe while maintaining an intimate connection with the listener. This recording stands as a thoughtful tribute to fellow singer-pianists who have shaped the genre, celebrating the artistry and influence of performers such as Diana Krall, Eliane Elias, Blossom Dearie and Nina Simone, while subtly asserting her own understated identity within that tradition.
