As a highly revered vocalist within the British jazz vanguard, Winstone's debut album functions as an intricate masterclass in avant-garde vocal exploration. Backed by an exceptional ensemble of UK jazz luminaries, she utilizes her voice dynamically as an instrument, navigating complex, dissonant arrangements and sprawling big band improvisations with extraordinary technical precision.
