Claire Martin + Gareth Williams Trio
Since her debut album in 1992 Claire Martin has regularly been acclaimed as the outstanding jazz voice of her generation. She has received British Jazz Awards initially as rising star and subsequently regularly as best vocalist. She's been a regular performer at Ronnie Scott's Club and other key venues and festivals and has had success in America. She's been a regular performer and presenter on BBC Jazz Line Up. Her latest album released this year 'A Modern Art' has received enthusiastic reviews. Her live performances consist of a mixture of the great American songbook mixed with unusual contemporary material.
Review of Claire's latest CD
“Claire Martin doesn't do makeovers or market re-positionings - she's a consummate jazz singer with old school virtues, and she wins plaudits everywhere she works. But her repertoire has always ranged way beyond the standards book, and this fine thirteenth album features only one Broadway song, plus material by Steely Dan, Michael Franks and more. The continuing refinement of this elegant artist is palpable. “
