Posted by Nathan Slater has backed his great friend Mietta to launch this long awaited CD
Nathan says “ We launched it in Melbourne at The Spotted Mallard to a packed house featuring a chamber ensemble, 4 backing vocalists and a 4 piece rhythm section. We then followed with a show in Ballarat and Sydney at 505 Jazz Club.
The reviewers say “A Mad Distance, the debut album by Melbourne songstress Mietta, is a glorious first disc. Drawing elements of acoustic, folk, world and Latin music, the musicianship in terms of the playing is incredibly high on this album.. Melbournian audiences are in for a real treat, as this enchanting former ballet-dancer will not only take to the stage with the acclaimed flamenco-guitarist Nathan Slater – the linchpin of this album, but a full ensemble of twenty-five musicians, which includes a ten piece chamber orchestra and full rhythm section.
Mietta says “ we are just so lucky Melbourne is packed to the rafters with the most incredible musicians, and I can safely say we have some of the best in town”.
