Nette Robinson – a fine and distinctive jazz vocalist – performing the music of Bill Evans and Michael Garrick, with accompaniment from Garrick himself.
Earlier in 2010 Nette brought out her first CD ‘The Little Big Band Plays’ (on 33 Jazz) with her own arrangements of classic Duke and Basie repertoire. With ‘Remembered Time’ she illuminates another end of the spectrum: the brand new [for most] songs of Michael Garrick and the exacting beauty of legendary Bill Evans compositions. With Michael at the Steinway she re-members the 30th anniversary of Bill’s death (September 1980) with a programme that is intensely harmonic, varied and richly emotional.
“A singer of real promise…it’s the sense of conversational intimacy that really makes this such a richly compelling late-night record.” – Duncan Heining, Jazzwise
“On this effective tribute…the compositions all display considerable musical charm and depth…Garrick’s lyrics are intelligent, sophisticated and moving.” – Bruce Crowther, Jazz Journal
