Description
New album from leading UK jazz vocalist Tina May and her working band, which was formed to perform songs made famous by Edith Piaf. Tina has performed this 'show' throughout Europe and the UK to wide public acclaim.
This is a personal take on the songs made famous by the great chanteuse, sung in a gently 'jazz' way - but in keeping with the essence of 'Piaf'. Audiences have an endless fascination with the music of Piaf and Tina brings her considerable talents to the album.
Personnel: Tina May (vocals), Nikki Iles (piano), Karen Street (accordéon), Julie Wilkington (double bass)
