“ One January Morning instills itself into your heart for its melodic beauty and emotional sincerity … the trio’s arrangement of Carla Bley’s ‘Lawns’ is one of the most exquisite things I’ve heard all year”   Peter Quinn, JazzWise Magazine (4 Stars)

Anona Trio 'One January Morning' Sampler

Celebrated singer and lyricist Imogen Ryall pays homage to two inspirational jazz legends, bassist Charlie Mingus and singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell,  by stylishly re-imagining their unique collaborative album 'Mingus' which eventually became his epitaph.  Giant of jazz Mingus, who would have turned 100 this year, sporadically sent Mitchell his tunes to which she wrote lyrics to and they created the famous album which was met with much critical acclaim.  Also included are Imogen’s new lyrics to ‘Self-portrait In 3 Colours’; ‘Duke’s Choice’ and ‘Nostalgia In Times Square’. 
“Imogen's interpretations of 'The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines' and 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat' are not to be missed and I can't think of anyone better to bring these brilliant songs to life. Imogen Ryall is, in every sense, the real deal “  CLAIRE MARTIN OBE
Featuring JULIAN NICHOLAS, saxes & alto clarinet; David Beebee, piano; Nigel Thomas, bass and Eric Ford, drums.

In A Sentimental Mood

" Imogen Ryall is without doubt a hidden gem on the UK jazz scene.  With her lush palette of vocal textures, her delivery is always tender, authentic and from the heart.  The exceptional pairing of pianist Mark Edwards and saxophonist Julian Nicholas make up the Anöna Trio and they dance beautifully around her voice to take us on a sonic journey of venturesome arrangements of much loved standards alongside well crafted originals which give Ryall’s distinctive gift of lyric writing the perfect platform.  As they have made much music together over the years, this album showcases not only their world class musicianship but also their own distinctive synergy and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. 
A total joy from start to finish".
