Gill Manly, a British Jazz jewel in the crown and a unique interpreter of the jazz singers’ vast cannon who has worked for years with the cream of UK jazz artists but went unrecorded since 1994, made a welcome and decisive return to the studio in 2009 with the release of 'With a Song in My Heart'. Now re-issued as part of Linn’s ECHO series, Ms. Manly’s debut Linn album features performances by trumpeter Guy Barker and singer Mark Murphy. It is a gentle and flawless selection of jazz standards enhanced by her band’s virtuoso playing. ‘Manly's interpretations glow with a sense of rediscovery.’ Jazzwise
