“quite beautiful”
“a well balanced programme of new material and newly arranged older items, both of the highest quality and all lit up by Georgia’s personal vocal style”
★★★★
“Silhouette is innovative, lyrically inventive, risky at times and always rewarding. Mancio’s performance – often within arrangements that would expose any weakness – puts her at the top of the ever-growing tree of jazz vocalists”
★★★★½
“as thoughtful, assiduously crafted and lovingly realised an album you’ll hear this year… that grips you to the very end”
★★★★
Silhouette
Beginnings and endings; roads and journeys; losses and gains: Silhouette, Georgia’s third album, marks the end of her first decade as a professional performer and the beginning of her next as an accomplished writer and interpreter.
A bold collection of originals written in collaboration with Pat Metheny, Tim Lapthorn and Kate Williams merged with classics by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Tom Waits and Styne, Comden and Green: these are songs for our times. Featuring flautist Gareth Lockrane and vocalist Ian Shaw.
