London based jazz vocalist Juliet Wood is set to firmly establish herself as a voice to be heard. This collaboration with three masters of Latin-flavoured Jazz - John Crawford (piano), Andres Lafone (bass) and Andres Ticino (drums & percussion) - overlays the flowing vocal lines with complex rhythms and an intriguing vibe.

The title track, Sconsolato, is a heart-rending song of love and loss written by bassist Jimmy Woode and recorded in 1968 by Mark Murphy.

Juliet's carefully curated repertoire continues with musical gems such as Chelsea Bridge (Billy Strayhorn), Journey Within (Kenny Barron/Clare Foster), Midnight Sun (Lionel Hampton/Johnny Mercer), In These Shoes (Kirsty McColl et al.), Slow Hot Wind (Henry Mancini/Norman Gimbel) and two lesser known but beautiful Hoagy Carmichael tunes Lying to Myself and I Walk with Music. Also given a refreshing revival are Duncan Lamont's bluesy Billie Holiday and the wistful Manhattan in the Rain. An up-tempo, percussive Fascinating Rhythm (Gershwin) completes this delightful collection.
