Nominated for the 2014 JUNO for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year for STEALING GENIUS, it’s not hard to see why vocalist Amy McConnell and trumpeter William Sperandei took the Canadian jazz world by storm with their debut album. Their passionate interpretations, sophisticated arrangements and healthy respect for the melody have a broad appeal. ACCOMPLICE sees the pair taking on repertoire from composers of the 60s and 70s like Legrand, Brel, Loewe &amp; Mancini. McConnell and Sperandei push the stylistic boundaries of jazz by taking these much loved, complex melodies and putting them in a fresh context influenced by the sound of vintage French pop and electronica. Their groovy takes on favourites like L-O-V-E, Where Do I Begin? and Wild Is Love embrace non-traditional jazz rhythms and instrumentation to dramatic and compelling effect.<br>
