At Home
Turtle Bay, 2025
8/10
The pianist/vocalist Champian Fulton and saxophonist/clarinetist Klas Lingquist come together for these jazz standards that were fleshed out in an intimate, living room setting.
“The Very Thought Of You” starts the 10 tracks with Fulton’s warm keys and cozy voice alongside Lindquist’s playful clarinet, and “Don’t Do That To Me” follows with frisky piano and rich saxophone emitting both beauty and liveliness.
In the middle, “Serenade In Blue” offers a heartfelt moment, where the meticulous keys and rich sax interact with much chemistry, while “Someday You’ll Be Sorry” is an upbeat album highlight that showcases Fulton’s smooth and flowing pipes.
Residing close to the end, the dreamy “My Monday Date” builds into a swift and bright jazz climate, and “P.S. I Love You” exits with a more conversational tone that uses intricate keys and sax bouts with plenty of charm.
Fulton has 19 albums to her name, and Linquist is one of Sweden’s most in demand musicians. Together, they make for a memorable and timeless take on classics in a cozy environment.
Travels well with: Leon Anderson- Love At Snug Harbor; Jack Leckie- Plantar Of Seeds
