Description
'Point of View' is the debut Whirlwind Recordings release from vocalist and composer Nia Lynn and her Bannau Trio, which includes the world-renowned flautist Gareth Lockrane and pianist Ross Stanley. Excitedly this album features one of the most respected names in UK music history, the incomparable Norma Winstone and a program of beautiful music to soothe the soul while at the same time pleasing the mind.
Nia Lynn is known as one of the UK's most creative vocalists and emotive songwriters, with the ability to sing deeply personal self-penned compositions to counterpointing lines. A true "musician's vocalist", Lynn and her Bannau Trio have been quietly ploughing their own path in the contemporary chamber jazz world since 2005, while drawing heavy influence from the 'singer songwriter tradition' which ties in with Nia's love of lyric craft and poetry (she is also a published poet).
Nine sparkling compositions make up 'Point of View', with three original compositions from Lynn, and six wonderfully-chosen covers that have been stripped down to their raw essentials. These include "Renewal" by Ralph Towner, "Soldier's Things" by Tom Waits, "Who Can I Turn To" by Anthony Newly and Leslie Bricusse, and "Some Other Time" by Bernstein, Comden and Green. The music has been masterfully performed by the Bannau Trio, who effortlessly balance virtuosity and space with ease, rendering completely new and invigorating covers next to personal versions of originals.
The album was recorded live at The Forge in Camden, an added bonus as it gives an insight into the group's open and interactive live performances.
Personnel: Nia Lynn (vocals), Gareth Lockrane (flute), Ross Stanley (piano), with special guest: Norma Winstone (vocals)
