Enchanting neo-soul chanteuse Ego Ella May offers a modern reinterpretation of a 1970s jazz instrumental with ‘The Morning Side of Love’, originally released by drummer and bandleader Chico Hamilton on his Peregrinations (1975) album. Ella May sprinkles her vocal magic over an understated arrangement, adding new lyrics and vocalisations.
Ella May’s recording trails the release of Blue Note Re:imagined II, a 16-track compilation where tunes from the Blue Note vault are given new readings by an impressive roster of contemporary talent. See tracklisting below.
