Renowned UK jazz vocalist and multi-award winner, Claire Martin OBE, reunites with her accomplished Swedish trio, led by exceptional pianist and arranger, Martin Sjöstedt, for new album Almost in Your Arms. The music beautifully highlights Claire's unparalleled skill in seamlessly blending classic jazz standards, such as the title track from the movie Houseboat, with contemporary pieces by Elvis Costello, Rufus Wainwright, and Mark Winkler. Anchored by the in-demand bass player Nikolas Fernqvist and the rhythmic precision of drummer Daniel Fredriksson, this ensemble forms a swinging band featuring some of Europe’s foremost jazz talents.
