The Big Friendly Album

by Laura Jurd

supported by

Alexander Boulton There is so much beauty in this set of playful, explorative tunes. Reminiscent of being a child and finding beauty in a new sound. Favorite track: Henry.

mickledore Its friendly: warm, a bit folky, tuneful, quirky, joyful. Its also a great jazz album, but the jazz sophistication and edgyness is beneath the surface without getting in the way. Great musicianship too.
