9th January 2014: Reviews from Jazz Camera, Jazz Views & The Guardian PLUS Airplay on Jazz FM & Radio Cardiff for The Bannau Trio’s ‘Points of View’
In today we have a collection of glowing reviews from Jazz Views, Jazz Camera, The Guardian and radio airplay from Jazz fm and Radio Cardiff for vocalist Nia Lynn’s debut WWR release Points of View.
The Jazz Views review state that “her singing exhibits an integrity of breath and tone so seldom heard in the jazz sphere, where many vocalists machinate effects and tricks to lend body to their performance. Nia has no need for such contrivance and her straightforward delivery is perfect for this gentle though rich collage drawn from folk and jazz resources, delivered with truly musical lyricism, especially those passages without words.” The continues with saying that “flute and concert piano are tightly locked in to the voice and the whole performance is conveyed exquisitely in both space and time, resulting in a concert of fluency and equilibrium.”
Jazz Camera states it as an “album full of delights” with The Guardian review describing it as an “elegant display of craft within a demandingly exposed format.”
The track Who Can I Turn To was recently performed on Helen Mayhew’s show on Jazz.fm and Radio Cardiff’s Jazz Special.
