Sara Mitra - April Songs
(CD/Digital - Limited LP coming soon) Impossible Ark/Unfold UNFOLDCD013, 2010-11-01
Sara Mitra releases her debut album on November 1st 2010 through indie label Impossible Ark, via Unfold Recordings. The record, April Song is a collection of folk and jazz tales that explore the tensions of living in Britain from a young woman's perspective. Written across the last decade, the semi-autobiographical songs are her reflection on life and the people she's encountered along the way. The record carves Sara Mitra out as an important new voice in the musical landscape. Mitra is joined on the album by some of the most talked about names from the current crop of young jazz musicians. They include her husband and co-arranger for the album Tim Giles (drums), Riaan Vosloo (bass & co-arranger), James Allsopp (sax, bass clarinet), Philip Hochstrate (piano, organ), Fulvio Sigurta (trumpet, flugelhorn) and Ross Stanley (Hammond organ).
