CD: Outpost of Dreams
Norma Winstone & Kit Downes
release date: 5 Jul 2024
"Outpost Of Dreams" introduces a new cross-generational duo partnership. Norma Winstone, a jazz vocalist and lyricist who is always unobtrusively inventive, brings her vocal subtlety and poetic sensibility to new pieces by Kit Downes and compositions by Carla Bley, Ralph Towner and John Taylor.
The program is rounded off with creative interpretations of the two traditionals, "Black Is The Colour" and "Rowing Home". Downes presents elegantly phrased accompaniment and subtle melodic interjections throughout. Outpost Of Dreams was recorded in Udine in April 2023.
