WHEN I WAS A BIRD
Blurring the boundaries of jazz and folk, “When I Was A Bird” features vocalist Laurel Murphy and some of Canada’s finest jazz musicians. Adventurous and evocative arrangements, with rich atmospheric effects.
“I want to say a big WOW for Laurel Murphy’s new CD. Unusual, unique and really wonderful. Intelligent, emotional, strong arrangements that suit the music & Laurel’s delicate, educated and powerful voice. She and the band put together something profound. These days, to find a music project that startles with originality, that is jazz in the best sense of rhythm, phrasing, chord structure and then to set us all on fire with your passion, that is a gift and we thank you. Congratulations! We are listening!” – Rhiannon
