This is the debut album by a singer from the Netherlands, featuring a husky, low-pitched voice and piano trio accompaniment.
This is the debut album from Anne Burton, one of the leading Dutch jazz singers. Accompanied by a trio led by pianist Louis van Dijk, the album features a selection of standards, highlighting her distinctive husky voice.
This is a masterpiece from Anne Burton's early career. Her bittersweet voice resonates over the lyrical and sophisticated piano accompaniment of the Louis Van Dyke Trio. She offers a unique interpretation of standards like "The Shadow of Your Smile," "Blue Prelude," and "I Can't Give You Anything But Love." Her distinctive singing style isn't one to flaunt technique, but rather to delve deeply into the emotion of the lyrics. The entire album is unified by the restrained aesthetic and bluesy sensibility unique to the European jazz scene.
