[ Fiona Pears / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 15 August 2014
This CD is a little different to Fiona's other releases. People have been asking her for years about recording a swing album. She has always loved the music of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, and although she often play this music live hasn't recorded much of it until now. There's everything here from the beautiful Django piece, Nuages, Fiona's own arrangement of Duke Ellington's famous Caravan, right through to a her own compositions, including the more classical More Than a Memory.
