Helen Sheppard is different. Her musical identity is so strong, she doesn't have
to hide behind jazz standards or someone else's songs -- she composes her own
songs and writes her own lyrics. She is equally at home in diverse styles of
music: soul, blues, ballad, jazz, Latin, etc., and in whatever style she chooses
to sing, her musical personality shines through. Both her songs and her
magnificent voice are instantly identifiable, and her lyrics have some spiritual
connotations. We are proud to present the first CD recorded by this
extraordinary talent. It is only a matter of time that Helen Sheppard will
perform at the major international festivals and in big concert halls. She has
arrived, and those on top will have to make some room for her.
Helen has several hundred songs in her archive, but for this CD she wrote new
songs which were recorded live without overdubs. Her songs have been arranged by
the equally talented composer, conductor, musician, and piano player Tom Unwin
whose trio accompanies Helen Sheppard on this CD with Gary Evans on drums and
Riaan Vosloo on double bass. Tom has also invited his fellow-musicians to
contribute to the recording of some of the songs: Mick Green on saxophone,
Martin Holland on trumpet, Tom Drewitt on guitar, and Marc Walpot on accordion.
