‘Near perfect vocal jazz’   AllAboutJazz

‘Her voice has an integrity to it...the singer becomes the song, the song becomes the singer. That happens so rarely’   Marlbank

Sarah Moule and Simon Wallace worked closely with American jazz lyricist Fran Landesman for the last two decades of her life.  Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most has been recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Barbra Streisand and many more but in 2008 Fran wrote a new verse especially for Sarah which is included for the first time in this recording. 

The lyric was originally written in the early 1950s when Fran was living opposite T S Eliot’s birthplace in St Louis.  It grew out of her and Tommy Wolf, the song’s composer, speculating how a hipster jazz musician of the time might express the opening lines of Elliot’s poem The Wasteland, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2022: 

April is the cruelest month, breeding 
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing 
Memory and desire

Sarah has recorded five critically acclaimed albums of songs by Fran and composer/pianist husband Simon.  Her 5th album ‘Stormy Emotions’ was released in Spring 2021 to stellar reviews on both sides of the Atlantic and featured in 4 Best Of 2021 critics’ lists.

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most (192)

Prelude To A Kiss written in 1938 by Duke Ellington, with a lyric by Irving Gordon.

Prelude To A Kiss Sarah Moule & Simon Wallace

Song about dreaming of a loved one from Songs From The Floating World album by Sarah Moule.

Hell's Angel (2.25)

The song deals with an archetypal story of a roguish man and a woman who can't quite forget about him.

The recording draws on elements of jazz and blues with a hint of classic soul.

Personnel: Sarah Moule vocals; Simon Wallace piano and Hammond organ; bass Mick Hutton; drums Paul Robinson.
