Master of a wealth of diverse styles and blessed with a rare talent for improvisation, Anne Lindsay brings all of her skill into fine focus on the 14 powerful tracks of her album News From Up the Street.
What sets this album apart from her first CD is the addition of Anne’s heart-catching vocals. A touch of retro jazz in Gershwin’s The Man I Love, a nod to the folk-jazz of Dan Hicks with the title track, a rolling version of Ken Williams’ evocative Wichita Fog — but the gem of the album may well be the first of Anne’s lyrics to be captured on disc, Once I Was in Stockholm.
News From Up the Street marks a major step forward in Anne Lindsay’s remarkable career. As she puts it: “I wrote most of this music in fits and starts over the last seven years or so — at the kitchen table, on the back of a bus, in airports, at sound checks, in the stands of the Air Canada Centre between periods.”
