Performance Notes | 'And So It Goes
' is the debut album from Emilia Martensson and Barry Green. The album documents the duo's shared love of a wide range of material, presenting fresh and exciting arrangements of a superb choice of songs.
Drawing on the wistful folk songs of Emilias homeland alongside some of the greatest songs of the last century, the recording is a finely poised blend of jazz and artful alt-pop. The album consists of 11 very carefully selected songs says Emilia, The main idea behind this project has been to treat repertoire by artists we love, with an approach that has been filtered through our different jazz influences and backgrounds. On the album you'll hear a Swedish folk song sung in a southern Swedish accent; an original piece based on Schumanns Ich Grolle Nicht; a Nat King Cole Swing tune, and a James Taylor song dedicated to my younger sister Marina, just to name a few. |
