Description
Sara Colman and Rebecca Nash, the compelling vocalist-songwriter and pianist-composer duo, present their absorbing collaboration Ribbons on Stoney Lane Records - an album of poignant original writing, improvisations and new artistic directions.
Featuring a host of notable guest artists, including Iain Ballamy, Trish Clowes and Percy Pursglove, the album is built around a jazz sensibility, with Colman and Nash's evocative 'story-songs' forging threads from the folk, classical, improvised and songwriter worlds, with influences as diverse as Rickie Lee Jones, Quercus, Joni Mitchell and Debussy.
Drawing inspiration from the creative partnership of Ellington and Strayhorn, the harmonic language of John Taylor, and the artistry of lyricist/vocalist Norma Winstone, the long-term collaborators' strong bond as both friends and artists was central to the album's creation. During the summer of 2020, when the world was turned upside down, Sara Colman and Rebecca Nashtook up residence in a house in a forest with only each other and some chickens for company, and set about writing. Founded on a song they wrote together - Ribbons - the resulting collection of new works celebrates the joy of musical partnership, friendship and collaboration.
"Colman's exquisite vocals and Nash's own penchant for blindingly beautiful chord structures...the resulting music is simply stunning." - UK Vibe
"Unfailingly beautiful, richly expressive voice." - Jazzwise
