The new Diana Panton album ‘solstice/equinox’ gets 3.5 stars in the February issue of Downbeat Magazine!
“The genteel soul of pianist George Shearing infuses this silky collection of songs about the seasons which Panton sings with a breathy delicacy that recalls Blossom Dearie and Stacy Kent. But she’s got her own thing, giving classic songs like “September In The Rain” a literate, sensitive reading, while allowing generous solo opportunities for her first rate Canadian ensemble.”
