Claire Martin - Witchcraft - The Yorkshire Post

Here's a lovely record. The partnership between Martin, one of our finest singers, and Bennett is a beguiling one that straddles the divide between jazz and high-class cabaret and makes for a CD that is both highly entertaining and contains some wonderfully classy music. The programme is composed entirely of songs by Cy Coleman, and the duo works through them with panache. Martin is excellent throughout, her gift for bringing the best out of a lyric well to the fore, and Bennett is an ideal partner, both in his super-sensitive piano accompaniments and slightly gruff vocals which are leavened by an impish sense of humour.
