Gill Whitehurst - Green and Living Crown [CD]

With it's interesting blend of folk, jazz & rock Gill's album has a maturity that belies the fact that it's her first. Over the years, she's absorbed the influences of Bert Jansch, Yes, and even Mahler, creating soundscapes taking US through contemporary urban themes, hinting at other worlds & experiences. She's joined by Neil Simpson (Climax Blues Band, T.J. Johnson Band), Chris Gumbley (Saxtet, Pasadena Roof Orchestra) & Paul Civil (Mustique).
