Elina Duni/Rob Luft – Reaching for the Moon [LP]
Description
"Few contemporary jazz-influenced singers manage to sound so intensely like themselves while drawing on such a variety of genres, languages, and cultural backstories as the Albania-born vocalist Elina Duni," The Guardian has noted, and Reaching for the Moon once again casts a wide net. Duni's third recording with UK guitarist Rob Luft, begins with Irving Berlin's title song and ends with Ornette Coleman's "Lonely Woman." Along the way we hear Duni and Luft originals, traditional music from Kosovo, a lullaby penned by Persian singer Mahsa Vahdat, a ballad from Italian singer-songwriter Pino Daniele, French composer Gabriel Faure's art song "Les Berceaux," themes for film written by Japan's Shigeru Umebayashi and Poland's Krzysztof Komeda, and more. Duni's resourcefulness as singer is well-matched by Luft's instrumental skills, the guitarist drifting between idioms, gently enveloping melodies, underlining emotional expression in the song texts, and enhancing atmospheres.
