Karin Krog & John Surman - Cloud Line Blue

The Norwegian vocalist Karin Krog is described by the Penguin Guide To Jazz On CD as one of Europe's most stylish and significant jazz singers. This duo session recorded with John Surman in 1976 began a professional relationship with Surman that has continued to this day. Available now for the first time on CD the session is notable for Krog's expressive and technically astute voice, her advanced musical ideas and Surman's use of acoustic instrumentation (saxes and clarinet) combined with electronics (moog and other synthesizers).

Personnel: Karin Krog (vocals), John Surman (soprano & baritone saxes, bass clarinet, moog & EMS synth, guitar), Janet Cooke (piano, string ensemble), Stu Martin (drums)
