Artist Feature: Claire Martin, the Swedish connection
Claire recently sat down with Andrew Read for a ‘Jazz In Europe’ feature: “One of the main reasons for our conversation with Claire at this juncture was the exciting news of her upcoming album titled ‘Almost in your Arms’, and an extensive tour in collaboration with the trio led by Swedish-based multi-instrumentalist Martin Sjöstedt, set to be released in the Autumn of this year on Stunt Records.”

The Times
Great Britain
There are few, if any, finer jazz singers than Claire Martin. She’s certainly the best the U.K. has produced, with her cunning mix of straight-ahead purity and interpretive legerdemain.
