Norma Winstone & Kit Downes - Black Is The Colour (from the new album ’Outpost Of Dreams’) Norma Winstone: voice Kit Downes: piano Available here: ECM 2811 Release: 05 July 2024 ’Outpost of Dreams’ introduces a new duo. Norma Winstone, as always quietly innovative as jazz singer and lyricist, brings her vocal subtlety and poetic sensibility to new pieces by Kit Downes, and to compositions by Carla Bley, Ralph Towner, and John Taylor. The programme is completed with fresh perspectives on two traditional tunes, “Black Is The Colour” and “Rowing Home.” Throughout Downes offers elegantly phrased accompaniment and adventurous interjections. “Outpost of Dreams” was recorded in Udine in April 2023.
