JOHN DANKWORTH & CLEO LAINE Jazz Matters featuring The Blues Ain't & World Jazz (2010 UK 14-track CD album - 'Jazz Matters' features two suites of new music written by jazz legend John Dankworth with lyrics, by Duncan Lamont. The performances were recorded in 2007 at The Stables Theatre, built more than forty years ago by John Dankworth and Cleo Laine in the grounds of their home in Wavendon, and the pieces were individually premiered at the BBC Proms and The London Jazz Festival. Alyn Shipton says of the new works "The Blues Ain't and World Jazz are worthy companions. As well as exploring unusual facets of the blues and of what can be done in the space of twelve bars, this album also shows what a broad range of material can be performed and interpreted by two consummate musicians, aided by a coterie of jazz friends, old and new, in order to end up sounding entirely personal and unique to them.") more...
