Vocalist Jaana Narsipur brings a fresh jazz sensibility to the sounds of the ‘80s on The Re-Collection, reshaping familiar pop and new wave material with warmth, sophistication, and a strong sense of storytelling. Working alongside pianist Nicki Adams, drummer Joe Abba, tenor saxophonist Sean Nowell, trumpeter Wayne Tucker, bassist Marco Panascia, trombonist Alex Jeun, and string players Meg Okura, Hannah Selin, and Laura Masferrer, Narsipur moves effortlessly between intimate balladry, groove-driven arrangements, and lush cinematic textures. Drawing from the songwriting of artists such as Peter Gabriel, Sting, Kate Bush, Joe Jackson, and U2, the album allows the songs to breathe in a modern jazz setting shaped by expressive improvisation and nuanced vocal phrasing. The result is a stylish and thoughtfully crafted recording that feels both familiar and newly imagined.
