Like Song Like Weather [CD]

CD reissue. Norma Winstone is one of the most recognizable vocalists from the United Kingdom. During her nearly 50-year career, she has performed in many varieties of situations, from the improvisatory world of avant-garde to the classic tastefulness of the jazz songbook. There are some musical relationships that are just sublime. Winstone has had innumerable musical partnerships over her nearly 50-year career but none have lasted as long or have been as fruitful as the one with pianist John Taylor. The duo's recording Like Song, Like Weather from 1996 found them reunited performing standards and recreations of tunes by their contemporaries, including Steve Swallow, Paul Bley and Kenny Wheeler, with lyrics written by Winstone herself.
