'The First Lady of British Jazz' wins the accolade of Jazz Vocalist of the Year 2022
Anyone who has a ticket for one of Claire Martin's upcoming Swedish concerts is in for a treat! The songs on Believin' it encompass a century’s worth of tunes, tracks include ‘Broken Wings’ by Mr. Mister and ‘I’m Not in Love’ by 10cc, as well as favourites by Joe Locke, Joni Mitchell, Ivan Lins and Pat Metheny. Claire remembers legendary singer Lena Horne with her own arrangement of ‘Come Runnin’’ and pays tribute to Norway’s Karin Krog with ‘Cherry Tree Song’. Claire will be accompanied by the same trio of Swedish musicians who appear on the album: Martin Sjöstedt (piano), Niklas Fernqvist (bass) and Daniel Fredriksson (drums).
