22nd April 2014: 4 Stars from Jazzwise & Jazz Journal PLUS Praising Reviews from London Jazz News, Jazz Camera, Jazz Views, The Guardian, Bebop Spoken Here & Marlbank for The Bannau Trio’s ‘Points of View’

The Bannau Trio, led by singer Nia Lynn, have gained a mighty collection of glowing reviews for their latest release Points of View released on WWR in late 2013. These include a 4 star review from both Jazzwise and Jazz Journal, as well as high praising reviews from London Jazz News, Jazz Camera, Jazz Views, The Guardian, Bebop Spoken Here and Marlbank. 

London Jazz News note that on the recording the “remarkable expertise of the musicianship and the subtle interactions in their playing that really bring it all to life” and describes Nia as having an “impressive vocal range – from angelic upper register to velvety contralto – and uses it to great contrasting effect, wafting in with high, wordless phrases on the light, airy opening song Renewal, and then performing a gutsy low-down version of Tom Waits’ song Soldier’s Things.”

Jazz Camera also describe the release as “an album full of delights” and The Guardian have noted it as “an elegant display of craft”.

On top of the reviews, the album has also received airtime on Jazz FM’s Dinner Jazz where they played the track ‘Who Can I Turn To’ on both the 1st and 7th April.
