About

Following the Grammy-nominated 'Distances' comes the eagerly awaited second ECM album from the British-German-Italian trio fronted by singer Norma Winstone, with pianist Glauco Venier and reedsman Klaus Gesing. Alongside their own pieces, the musicians play songs from Mexico's Armando Manzanero to Armenia's Komitas, to Wayne Shorter. Textures, colours and rhythms are drawn from scattered, surprising sources.

Winstone, Venier and Gesing are three adventurous musicians united, in this project, by a profound feeling for song. The stark instrumentation - voice, piano, bass clarinet/soprano sax - encourages the players to explore widely, and to make creative use of the available space. Glauco Venier and Klaus Gesing invited Norma, long-established as Britain's most distinctive jazz singer, to join them for Italian concerts a decade ago and she soon recognized a potential for developing a trio music with its own specific character, now documented on three outstanding recordings: 'Chamber Music' (released 2004), 'Distances' (ECM, 2008), and the present disc, produced by Manfred Eicher in Udine in 2009.

As with its predecessors, 'Stories Yet To Tell' reveals Venier and Gesing as gifted composers and distinctive instrumentalists. Venier's choice of notes and his harmonizations are strikingly original, and Gesing has established his own methodology for bass clarinet in particular, vaulting between rhythm and melody functions, and matching textures and phrases with Winstone's subtle voice. From the beginning of her life in jazz, Norma Winstone, who first recorded for ECM in 1977 as a member of the Azimuth trio with John Taylor and Kenny Wheeler, has wanted to be part of the ensemble, rather than a frontwoman. She uses her voice 'instrumentally', to interweave improvised lines with her partners and participate in the blossoming harmony.
