Jude Johnstone - Mr. Sun - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Jude Johnstone's new BLUE LIGHT on Bojak Records is a rediscovery of a musical style rather than a departure from the flavor of her previous musical works in critically acclaimed CDs COMING OF AGE and ON a GOOD DAY. The music BLUE LIGHT possesses the sensitive, soulful and poetic qualities found in the prior discs but returns Johnstone to the jazz/blues/torch influences she grew up with in Ellsworth, Maine listening to Sarah Vaughn, Tony Bennett, Rosemary Clooney and Glen Miller from her father's record collection. BLUE LIGHT conveys the emotional depth of Johnstone's songwriting delivered in her passionate voice supported by sophisticated, spacious arrangements.

You know him from cpo's recordings of his chamber music (the piano trios) and his Prize Symphony. With this cpo chose a selection from Schumann's more than 60 arias and lieder with selected piano compositions. Many of his piano works are considered Inchsongs without wordsInch and serve as excellent compliments to this song edition.
