'THE INDEPENDENT' by Phil Johnson

'Hume creates intimate,yet dramatic music-sort of Erik Satie meets David Sylvian round at Nick Drake's place'

'JAZZ REVIEW' by Glenn Astarita

'Hume's music is subtly powerful and quite vivid,the portraitures she engineers are dark and tender,but quietly penetrating.'

With 'Gravity and Grace' Carolyn Hume continues the direction taken with her previous solo album. Over eight of her compositions, she creates an atmosphere of beautiful darkness, melancholy and abandonment.

With guest musician Oliver Coates on the cello and vocalist Sonja Galsworthy, the three of them guide us through a landscape of infinity, nothingness and contemplation.
