Mike Gibbs is among the finest living masters of the jazz orchestra, and Norma Winstone the singer who has inspired a whole generation of European jazz vocalists. Given a free hand with Germany's NDR Big Band, they have come up with a truly gorgeous album. The orchestrations are constantly surprising but always apt, the choice of songs - from Joni Mitchell to Fats Waller, Cole Porter to Sting - immaculate, and the playing polished beyond belief. As for Ms Winstone, who else could make complexity sound so simple?
