Robert Bloemkolk Exceptional singer Janet Lawson and het excellent band take on some well worn standards and make them sound fresh again. Now these records were released almost 40 years ago and still sound, well: fresh again. Remarkable. Favorite track: Joshua (The Miles Davis Session Version).

about

The first of two superb records by The Janet Lawson Quintet, their eponymous debut set originally came out in 1981 on Inner City.
An astonishing tour-de-force of the jazz singer’s art released at a time when jazz was widely viewed as being artistically moribund and when the market for straight-ahead jazz had shrunk to something of a rump (although the adventurous Inner City label had achieved a certain caché with hard-core jazz aficionados around the world, and notably with the UK’s jazz-funk scene of the late ‘70s). While many of her contemporaries turned to a more commercially viable and often musically unadventurous fusion, Janet Lawson’s record made the case for jazz as a still-exciting, living art-form.
