A big heads up here for a record scarcely off our player recently to be released next month. Blink is the latest from highly original singer and composer Brigitte Beraha with her Lucid Dreamers band. The songs are very strong, certainly poetic and allowing lots of space for interplay between voice and soloing instrument, and are partly composed and partly the result of improv sessions. Beraha is with saxist George Crowley, pianist Alcyona Mick and drummer Tim Giles. The album is to be released on the Let Me Out Records label.
