Wilma Baan
When you hear So Nice, the debut release from vocalist Wilma Baan, you may wonder why you haven't heard her before. Wilma's rich, mellow tone, impeccable timing and elegant delivery pay homage to her musical influences (Julie London, Nancy Wilson, Dianne Reeves) on this accomplished recording of 12 treasures from the standard repertoire. The arrangements by Graham Harvey provide a sparklingly fresh take on these much-loved songs including a wonderfully sensitive version of the inexplicably under recorded 'Day by Day' and on a poignant rendition of 'Here's to Life', producer Claire Martin coaxes every nuance and shade from Wilma's charming vocal performance. Chris Traves' mellifluous trombone solo on 'Close Enough for Love' demonstrates the generous contributions made by Chris (he also co-produced the album with Claire Martin) Josh Morrison and Dave Chamberlain throughout the recording (Dave can be heard playing the guitar on tracks 1 & 8). For Wilma, So Nice represents the fulfilment of a long-held ambition; to record songs that have deeply moved and inspired her and that have sustained her love for the jazz repertoire through the years
