Twelve O’Clock Tales

Clare Teal & The Halle Orchestra

The fifteenth studio album from the darling of British jazz sees her team up with a full orchestra and big band – an amazing 93 musicians in total.

This is masterful stuff. The orchestral arrangements are cinemtic in their size and sound, but are matched all the way by Clare’s stunning voice.

The varied songlist includes tracks from Cole Porter, Tim Rice and Sting.

OUR VERDICT: 9/10
