Catherine Howe

Wow, this Numero Group keeps get­ting bet­ter and bet­ter. I truly recom­mend their collec­tions. This is a track from disc 12 in their reper­toire NUM012, the album is called “What a Beau­ti­ful Place” and was ori­gi­nally relea­sed in 1971 but fell into obs­cu­rity until now.

Title: 13. In The Hot Sum­mer

Artist: Cathe­rine Howe

Album: What A Beau­ti­ful Place

“The first ever com­pact disc issue of Cathe­rine Howe’s bri­lliant debut album. Pro­du­ced by legen­dary jazz pia­nist Bobby Scott, the album is a pas­to­ral blend of English country­side folk and Lon­don orches­tral pop, not unlike Bry­ter Lay­ter or North Star Grass­man And The Ravens. Ori­gi­nally relea­sed on Reflec­tion Records in 1971, the much sought after album disap­pea­red before ever hit­ting the racks. Boo­klet inc­lu­des half a dozen unpu­blished pho­tos and an ano­ta­ted his­tory of the album’s brief exis­tence. The fully remas­te­red album inc­lu­des an unearthed bonus track ori­gi­nally inten­ded to be inc­lu­ded on the album.”
