Glasgow's First Lady of Jazz Carol Kidd, whose string of successful Linn recordings in the 1980's have made her a staple of international audiophile artists, returns with an all-new collection of delectable jazz and pop standards delivered in her inimitably smooth and heartfelt style. Kidd has always been an artist celebrated for her cool, controlled phrasing and easy-going balladry, and her lovely new recording, BOTH SIDES NOW, is replete with her trademark inflection and warmth spread over classic songs by everyone from Rodgers & Hammerstein, Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, and Richard Thompson. A songwriter of note, Kidd herself contributes two new tracks co-authored with Chris Anthony. Impex's super-exclusive Ultra High Quality Compact Disc - by the world's premier digital media company, Memory-Tech - is mastered by the superlative Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, and features brilliantly detailed mid-tones, effortlessly stable bottom end, and crisp overtones. This is digital audio at it's most pristine. Playable on conventional CD players
