If there's jazz royalty in Britain, Claire Martin OBE is definitely ermine clad. Her choice of material is diverse and exemplary and she shines in all kinds of settings, from duo to big band.
Her legacy as a live performer and a recording artist is essentially a treasure trove, and she's conclusively put paid to that by recording a new album that knocks it right out of the ballpark.
Almost in Your Arms is something of a Scandinavian extravaganza, being built around the nucleus of Claire's touring trio of outstanding Swedish musicians, with world-class arrangements.
From the opening instants of I Feel a Song Coming On, Claire Martin is absolutely in control and at the top of her game, the smooth, husky voice taking the super high speed.
