Anna Kolchina – Wild Is The Wind (2017) [Japan 2018] [SACD / Venus Records – VHGD-267]

Title: Anna Kolchina – Wild Is The Wind (2017) [Japan 2018]
Genre: Jazz
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Anna Kolchina, a Russian jazz vocalist from Bashkortostan and a St. Petersburg State University of Cultural Arts graduate, delivers her third Venus Records album, Wild Is The Wind, recorded in 2017 in New York with an all-star band featuring John Di Martino on piano, Peter Washington on bass, and Willie Jones III on drums. Following her 2015 debut Street of Dreams with Massimo Farao’s trio and 2016’s Dark Eyes, this album showcases Kolchina as an equal quartet member, her mellow, seductive voice blending seamlessly with the ensemble, particularly in the title track where it emerges delicately from Washington’s bass. The 14-track collection of love song standards, including “You Do Something To Me,” “So In Love,” and “Don’t Look Back,” explores varied emotional facets with Kolchina’s refined yet street-smart vocals, which convey vulnerability and worldly wisdom. The three-dimensional engineering creates an immersive experience, making Wild Is The Wind a compelling, intimate masterclass in ensemble jazz performance.
