Originally released on vinyl and never before reissued since, Svart Records finally brings Like a Fragonard back on the market. \"For this recording Sarmanto expanded the quintet to a sextet by the addition of vocalist Maija Hapuoja, who's blessed with an angelic voice, exceptional vocal range and incredible sensitivity. Her approach to Jazz vocals is similar in many respects to the work of British singer Norma Winstone, one of the greatest Divas of vocal Jazz. Like a Fragonard offers a brilliant view of early modern Finnish Jazz at its best, taking the essence of Jazz spirit and combining it flawlessly with other musical sources to create a perfect amalgam. It remains untouched by the tides of time, being a true classic.\" -Adam Baruch Like a Fragonard is available on a limited pressing of 350 copies on vinyl and 300 copies on CD, containing an insert with liner notes by Adam Brauch and Heikki Sarmanto.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Svart Records","offers":[{"title":"Transparent Red Vinyl 12 Inch Album","offer_id":55038535565635,"sku":"RPT-37081","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 x 12\" Vinyl Album","offer_id":55038535598403,"sku":"RPT-37082","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 x CD Album","offer_id":55038535631171,"sku":"RPT-37083","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/ab67616d0000b273983690515420d250ab441c61.png?v=1794397475","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/heikki-sarmanto-serious-music-ensemble-like-a-fragonard","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
