Love Rhapsody, Emma's first CD, was released by MOVE Records in 2002 (MCD 211).
| Emma recorded most of the tracks 'live' to give the
album the feisty spontaneous sound of a live gig. By choosing a wide
selection of material the album takes the listener through many
emotions, the theme being the cycle of love. Self penned compositions Love
Rhapsody, Changeable Day and Lament sit well
alongside many well known tunes.
Emma's favourite on the album was also the most challenging, Blues
for Breakfast.
Blues for Breakfast
is beyond sad, my tribute
to the wonderful artistry and surprisingly touching vocal skills of
George
Shearing. Emma says.
Reviews
You don't get much more beautiful than
that. Rick
James, 88.3 Southern FM
Emma Sidney wastes no time in seducing the
listener on LOVE
RHAPSODY. Sidney has an appealing style which is lifted by the
subtle
piano of Todd Sidney and some wonderful bass and brass. Chris Copas,
The Star
Emma has a
nice easy style whether swinging the standards or interpreting a
slow
ballad. A fine
effort from all concerned and I'm sure this will be the first of
many
CDs from Emma. Don Brow, Jazz
Scene, September 2002
