Review

“Nora York has a wonderful new CD out, What I Want. a stunning interpretations which say it all for jazz.” --financial Times April 05

Product Description

Nora York weaves marvelously evocative tone-poems, threading her soulful finely honed voice through the warp and weft of her inspiration. York embraces American music and makes a synthesis of forms. All musical genres are equal to her; folk, Jazz, rock and roll, remix, country blues, hymns and hip hop.

"What do you get when listening to Nora York? A little Sting, a bit of Joni Mitchell and a whole lot of wonderful. Juxtaposing eras, genres, and attitudes to create a series of bold, brave sound sculptures. ...you know you are dealing with an intensely sharp witted fatalist who is as gifted an emotional puppeteer as she is a poet." -- JazzTimes -- Christopher Loudon June 2005
