I first heard Hannah Gill when she was part of that phenomenal circus known as Post Modern Jukebox at Sage Gateshead, as it was back then in 2019. That, for me she was the star of a show that had more stars in its ranks than heaven (apologies to MGM for pinching that line!), says a lot.
Russell was also impressed when he heard Hannah on a livestream from NYC during the pandemic and she also showed on a recent album by Danny Jonokuchi.
What a choice selection of songs on this album and not a Summertime among them! Three numbers associated with Doris Day and not a Secret Love among them!
You're Getting to be a Habit With me was sung by Doris in 'Lullaby of Broadway' and Put 'Em in a Box came from 'Romance on the High Seas' or, depending upon which country you were watching it in, 'It's Magic'. She does Doris proud but, on Everybody Loves a Lover, she knocks Doris out of the ballpark.
Jonokuchi's trumpet solos show just what we missed when Covid prevented his concert with SSBB. Weisheit on alto or clarinet, Chess on trombone and the other guys are as good as it gets - maybe more (delete the maybe).
Hannah is one of the future 'greats' and, I think that future is now. Lance
