The Blue Town Project
Thrilled to announce the release of my new album “Blue Town” recorded over two days in February 2019 at Ianto Sound studio London, on my own label, featuring multi award-winning guitarist Jim Mullen and the incomparable Ross Stanley on hammond organ. It’s a live in the studio album of first takes. 13 tracks recorded and produced by John Gallen. A selection of bittersweet standards. Lyrics which capture our moods whether reminiscing, daydreaming, hopeful or heartbroken. The combination of these two great musicians gives this selection of songs the textures, rich sounds and musicality I was seeking to bring out the pleasing melancholy in these stories. “Blue Town” was launched at the 606 Jazz Club in London on June 2nd to rave reviews!
ZOE FRANCIS
“With positive memories of Zoe Francis‘s Blue Town CD from the summer, I wondered how its predominantly ‘bittersweet’ mood would work in a live performance at Dean Street’s Pizza Express last Sunday. The short answer is ‘just beautifully’, with the balance between Jim Mullen‘s guitar, Ross Stanley‘s C3 Hammond and Ms Francis’s ever stronger and more relaxed voice absolutely perfect, assisted in no small way by the absence of drums” – London Jazz News
