ROSE & THE NIGHTINGALE: Spirit of the Garden Sunnyside, 2013 CHAMBER/VOCAL – This very unusual all-female quartet with cello, violin, piano, trumpet and three voices has a singer-songwriter vibe, only with a larger, richer palette: they pull together strands of folk, jazz, classical music and more in a set of gorgeous, optimistic tunes, all inspired by botanical gardens and parks. The lyrics are drawn from poems, following a seasonal progression from springtime to winter.
