about

"If there ever was a jazz orientated album to induce a sense of calm and tranquillity to the listener, this one is surely it. There is total empathy between voice, guitar and bass throughout. The gentle intensity of the original pieces are equal to the renderings of the well known standards in every way. The ethereal and intimate Fragile Moon is a good example and sounds at the first playing as if it has been listened to many times before." JazzViews

lyrics

Fragile Moon – Sophie Bancroft (©2019 PRS/MCPS)
I heard your song
A haunting cry
That calls a purple haze of charcoal trees.
What stirs you in
These gentle skies?
A fragile moon that tells no lies.
Transparent shadows, sounds of slumber
Breathing, breathing.

A flicker of tentative light
Your call is strong in your solitary state.
What keeps you there
What thoughts run wild
And stir your senses when you
Should be sleeping, sleeping, sleeping.

A nightingale
A luminescent landscape
Comforts yet intrudes upon repose.
A backdrop to a fertile mind
That follows pathways to and fro.
Never finding peace
Never finding peace
Never finding sleep.
