Jazz Vocalist Clare Foster Releases New Album “Kumbhaka”

Noted London, UK Jazz Vocalist
CLARE FOSTER
Releases her exciting Latin-infused recording
KUMBHAKA

TORONTO – LONDON, UK – NEW YORK CITY – February 1, 2021 – With the global release of her latest recording, London-based, international jazz vocalist CLARE FOSTER has interwoven a glorious celebration of “The Great American Songbook” with unique arrangements and instrumentation that magically incorporate Latin-American motifs and rhythms with a number of beloved “standards”. She has also included three fine original compositions.

The fifteen tracks draw from influences of the Hispanic and Portuguese world…each one with its own unique feel and sound. For instance, the “Candombe” from Uruguay exhibits the complexity of Latin rhythms, and provides a fresh and intriguing backdrop for the standard, “I’ll Remember April”, also, Cole Porter’s “Just One Of Those Things” is given a Puerto Rican “Bomba” treatment, with a nod to the identifiable “four trumpet sound” of La Sonora Ponceña. This project is a melting pot of colour, carnival and diversity, and there is a freshness of approach and concept that pays homage to the richness of these beautiful compositions and rhythmic experiences.
