Hi Annon,
The cover of Romance In The Dark was from our feature CD by Catherine Russell - Strictly Romancin' http://abcjazz.net.au/features/strictly-romancin-catherine-russell
You can also check Jessica's weekly playlist each week, which is published on this page.
Thanks for listening and we hope you continue to enjoy ABC Jazz!
Hi Jessica,
Today (Friday 11/05) you played a cover of 'In the Dark' by a female vocalist around 3pm. It was fantastic! Who was the artist?
Thanks!
Hi Jessica,
Can you help with a recently played question please? Last Friday early afternoon - a track by a 'drummer as band leader' recent release. I seem to remember it being a European artist. Very organic and textured with an open 'room sound' ????
Kind Regards,
Paul G Man
Hi David,
The artist / track you're looking for is:

Regards, the ABC Jazz team.
