Diana Panton - Red (Remastered) (2019) [Hi-Res]

„Red“, Panton's sixth album in eight years, is filled with jazz standards of unqualified love such as Frank Loessen's Say It Over And Over Again, Cole Porter's You're The Top, Max Gordon's I Know Why And So Do You, and the Gershwin brothers' Who Cares. Don Thompson's (Order of Canada) specially tailored string quartet arrangements, plus harp compliment Panton’s honest delivery, while Phil Dwyer’s saxophone (2012 JUNO Award Winner) underscores the sensuality of much of the album. There is also a delectable duet with bluesman Harrison Kennedy that has unbeatable chemistry!

'I associate colours with sound,' says Panton in an interview from her west Hamilton home. 'Red is the kind of album that can be appreciated by people who have been together for a while, and know what true love is. It's a deeper exploration of what love means.'
