Anne Bisson • Portraits and Perfumes
Camilio Records CAM5-2004
33-RPM 180 g LP
Anne Bisson is a Canadian jazz pianist and singer, similar to fellow Canadian, Diana Krall. This album, Bisson’s second, contains delightfully quirky covers of several songs—including the most unexpected rendition of Pink Floyd’s Us and Them I’ve yet to hear—and two self-penned songs, the result being somewhat reminiscent of a trippy lounge act!
The sound quality of this recording is quite good (Bisson’s presence is particularly palpable in some parts of Us and Them), but the surfaces were a little noisy on my copy.
