Hamann often favours the lower frequencies of her instrument and plays long, lingering notes which practically ooze introspection and melancholy, but are nonetheless moving and stunningly beautiful. While the pieces were not scored, they have obviously been constructed with care, purpose and attention to detail. The end results make gripping listening from start to finish without one false move or wasted gesture. One of these years, someone, somewhere will doubtless make the quintessential motion picture about lockdown 2020; when they do, the obvious next step will be to get Hamann to create its soundtrack. On this evidence, she was made for the job. All About Jazz
