Her acclaimed albums 'Kissing Bug' and '1:AM' captured the essence of jazz divas like Julie London and Ella Fitzgerald but with a modern sensibility that resonates globally, underscoring her unique ability to marry the spirit of a bygone jazz age with a contemporary and wide-reaching appeal. This musical blend has taken her on four worldwide tours, enchanting audiences in cities from San Francisco to Shanghai, London to Los Angeles, and solidifying her reputation as a modern-day torchbearer of the vocal jazz tradition. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin Taylor, described by Pat Metheny as one of the most spectacular solo guitar players in the history of the instrument, co-pilots this journey. Taylor, a virtuoso whose fingers dance over strings with a finesse that's both heart-stopping and profound, ensures that 'Songs for Nature' is imbued with the touch of a master craftsman. With a career that includes collaborations ranging from Jeff Beck and Stephane Grappelli to Bill Wyman and Jamie Cullum, Taylor's guitar playing weaves a rich tapestry of sound that perfectly complements Burns' vocal artistry. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis duo's collaborative alchemy is on full display across tracks like 'Nature Boy', 'Lullaby of the Leaves' and 'The Gentle Rain'. Together they have crafted a soundtrack that is as evocative of the earth's wonders as it is of human emotion. Recorded amidst the pristine beauty of New York's Catskill Mountains, each song resonates with the care and intention that only true reverence for nature can inspire. Alison and Martin are not just musicians at the height of their powers; they are also sonic naturalists, and this album is their field recording, capturing not the sounds of the wild, but the emotions it stirs within us. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngineered by John Valesio (Norah Jones), Grammy-Award winner Dave O'Donnell (Jason Mraz, Kurt Elling, Sheryl Crow), Cicely Balston (David Bowie, Nick Cave) and produced by James Taylor, 'Songs for Nature' promises an auditory experience as lush and layered as the ecosystems it seeks to honour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gentle Rain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNature Boy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Best Things In Life Are Free\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Folks Who Live On The Hill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHushabye Mountain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLittle Jazz Bird\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLemon Twist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomeone To Watch Over Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI've Got The World On A String\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLullaby Of The Leaves\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Foggy Day\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLullaby Of Birdland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoon River\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420726382977,"sku":"2317667","price":12.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0827775004428.jpg?v=1750621089","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2317667","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
