Claire Martin BBC Music Magazine Inverview
The jazz singer on appearing in her first Prom and why there should be a Big Band in every jazz club in the country.
Claire Martin and Richard Rodney Bennett both share a love for the Great American Songbook. In March, this dynamic duo released their latest collaboration, Witchcraft, a collection of songs by Cy Coleman.
Martin's creative interpretation of the Great American Songbook shines through her performances with a reflection on some of the 20th century's greatest songs. Smoky vocal elegance sculpted around the smooth flowing textures of piano, and the occasional vocal repartee of Bennett, results in a listen that is, well... spellbinding.
Martin's creative interpretations of the Songbook shine through her performances, whether recorded or live. Fans from London to Harrogate to New York City can capture the magic of this spellbinding partnership live throughout the rest of 2011.
