Our Take

In the latest collaboration from jazz saxophonist Martin Speake and vocalist Faith Brackenbury, titled Zephyrin, the dynamic duo delivers a whimsical and enchanting collection of British English tunes that will leave you tapping your toes and humming along.

From the opening track, "Misty Morning," the listener is transported to a foggy, picturesque countryside where Brackenbury's velvety vocals seamlessly blend with Speake's smooth saxophone playing. The chemistry between the two musicians is undeniable, creating a musical synergy that is truly magical.

Tracks like "Summer Breeze" and "Rainy Day Romance" showcase Speake's mastery of his instrument, with soulful solos that are both technically impressive and emotionally resonant. Brackenbury's lyrical storytelling, on the other hand, adds depth and nuance to the songs, painting vivid pictures of love, longing, and adventure.

Zephyrin is a delightful blend of traditional jazz stylings and modern sensibilities, with unexpected twists and turns that keep the listener engaged from start to finish. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a casual music lover, this album is sure to delight and surprise.

So sit back, relax, and let Martin Speake and Faith Brackenbury take you on a musical journey unlike any other. Zephyrin is a testament to the power of collaboration and creativity, and a must-listen for anyone with a taste for the extraordinary.
