Interesting looking one. I don't know it.

d'Ambrosio is an interesting singer.  Very, very quiet and inward -- at the other end of the spectrum from singers with powerhouse voices like Ella or Sarah.

At times, d'Ambrosio reminds me of Irene Kral -- although, to my ears, her artistry isn't quite on Irene's level.  (Admittedly, Kral is one of my very favorite singers.)

In any case, here's the The Cove on d'Ambrosio's bandcamp page, if you'd like to give it a listen.

Thank you for this.

Sadly, key word for me is "singer".

My version of that Geller LP is the Stateside version too.

Appropriate LP title and cover given the lovely weather conditions we are having today in the West of England.
