This new album from Claire Martin shows why she IS the best female Jazz vocalist in the UK. Most of the songs on this album were recorded by Shirley Horn a great American Jazz singer and Pianist who was obviously a big influence on Claire Martin.
Theres a wonderful mix here, ballads and swing plus a few unusual covers which demonstrate Claire Martins eclectic taste. My favourites at the moment are "Everything must change" with Jim Mullen on guitar and "Song for you". This last song shows how a classic pop/rock song (Leon Russell wrote and recorded it in 1970) can be adapted to Jazz. Her phrasing on this track is immaculate.
The band are very good, Clark Tracy is on drums, Gareth Williams Piano and there are various guest musicians including the aformentioned Jim Mullen on guitar. This is a superb album and I'll be surprised if I hear a better one this year.

I've always been a fan of Claire Martin - her voice, her musicality, her choice of musicians and collaborations, (not to mention her humour live on stage!) - so I was expecting her usual high standard on this latest outing "He Never Mentioned Love", but I really have to say I was absolutely blown away.
The selection of songs, mostly made famous by Shirley Horn, plus two originals, shows why Claire Martin admired Ms Horn, and why we in turn admire Ms Martin. My favourite tracks are "Slowly but Shirley", L.A. Breakdown and the title track "He Never Mentioned Love".
If you are already a Claire Martin fan I'm sure this album is already on your wishlist - if not, I suggest you buy this album and I am certain you will become one.
