Chiara Pancaldi: "The choice of songs and atmospheres has been inspired by the music I’ve been listening recently, in particular by a singer that I love. Her name is Shirley Horn.

Jeremy Pelt: From our earliest encounter, two things struck me as outstanding about Chiara Pancaldi. One of them was her clarity of expression. Speaking from more than a casual observer, one of the hardest things to attain in this music is conviction. That comes with experience and depth. Ms. Pancaldi is possessed of both, and that alone would make this set a pure joy to listen to!
