June Tabor has enjoyed a long association with jazz musicians of nearly 30 years now, having recorded her first jazz standards album Some Other Time in 1989. Here there are interpretations of ‘You Don't Know What Love is’ – in which Ballamy's dreamy sax synchs wonderfully with Tabor's poignant, austere phrasing, his Getz to her Gilberto and their interpretation of Sondheim/Bernstein's ‘Somewhere’ draws the curtains on the album with a yearning optimism. The majority of the album is made up of traditional folk material of which ‘On Berrow Sands’ is a standout, a tone poem with Warren's watery piano and Ballamy's sax merging with Tabor's vocals rather than in an accompaniment role. The instrumentals are worthy of the quality of the rest of the album rather than fillers: Warren's pastoral ‘Christchurch’ could be a song with sax sitting in for voice, while Ballamy's ‘Emmeline’ is reminiscent of his sterling work during the 1990s, as on All Men Amen. The rendition of the new Nobel Prize Winner's ‘Don't think Twice it's Alright’ is given a relatively less sombre treatment, but Tabor makes every word count and the sensitive sax and piano accompaniment is seamless.
