Anna Farrow - Days And Moods (2016)

With this first album of compositions co-written with Ben Rando, Anna Farrow reveals her voice in moving melodies, voluptuous grooves and direct and nurtured lyrics. Self-taught and with a French-English background, Anna pursues the singer-songwriter tradition in a specific musical world, accompanied by Ben Rando, Cédrick Bec and Sam Favreau, leading musicians on the jazz scene.

With real sensitivity, the throbbing pulse of jazz and blues blend with accents of soul and folk music, borne along by the harmony custom-made for Anna's voice. Listeners thus find themselves immersed in a graceful rumba (Travelling Melody), real groove ! (Happy Fool), swaying jazz (Words), soaring blues (A Little Help)…
