NEW ALBUM “HOME IS WHERE THE ART IS” on 33 JAZZ RECORDS

This year and once again alongside Terence Collie, Esther Bennett has produced & recorded a new album called “Home is Where the Art Is” –

A labour of love that explores her Birmingham roots and family connections in poetry & spoken word, featuring the music of artist and musician Didier Messidoro.

Also, on the album and accompanied by Terence Collie on piano – are some individual and quirky interpretations of a few well known and widely performed jazz standards that bear Esther’s trademark humour, ability to tell a story and poignancy
