Norma Winstone: Distances
by C. Michael Bailey
Practice brings one closer to perfection. British singer Norma Winstone has enjoyed a very prolific 35-plus year career that has been divided among a number of recording labels. Her recordings with John Taylor and Kenny Wheeler in the form of the group Azimuth brought her international exposure and recognition. These formats were the unusual combination of ...
Norma Winstone: Distances
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dopo Chamber Music, uscito alcuni anni fa per la Universal, Norma Winstone, Glauco Venier e Klaus Gesing tornano a registrare assieme, stavolta per ECM, un lavoro eclettico per scelta di brani, ma assai unitario per interpretazione.

Norma Winstone: Distances
by John Kelman
For some, the most intimate setting of choice is the duo. For Norma Winstone, while working in larger groups over the past five decades, her recorded history with ECM suggests that this British vocalist's preferred setting is the trio--specifically one with piano/keyboards and a wind or brass instrument.
