Norma Winstone is a true legend of British jazz. In the 1960s she came to prominence with her pioneering use of vocal improvisation, she later became internationally known with the group Azimuth and last year she was awarded an M.B.E. She joins Sheila to talk about her eclectic musical influences, the inspiration for her songwriting and to explain in what ways the jazz world has changed for women in the past fifty years.
‘Distances’ with Norma Winstone, Glauco Venier and Klaus Gesing has just been released on ECM Records.
