An unusual array of fascinating influences combined with her unique musical talent makes Christine Tobin well worth listening to - and unlike many modern female jazz singers, truly original. I thoroughly enjoyed her piece featured on Jazztrack. As a lover of both jazz and literature in its various guises, I look forward to hearing more of Christine.
Thanks ABC Jazz.
Christopher Lynch.
