Current Release - Starman Featruring David McAlmont
Available on Amazon from 8.1.2021
- Starman, featuring David McAlmont on vocals, is the first release from Janette Mason’s five track EP Wall To Wall Bowie, celebrating the music of David Bowie.
Nearly fifty years on, and with the release timed to coincide with Bowie’s birth date, this iconic song has been re- invented with great effect by well-respected pianist, composer and arranger Janette Mason.
Surprising and inventive in its approach, with a slowed down tempo, acoustic vibe and a wonderfully emotional vocal performance from Janette’s long term collaborator David McAlmont, this is Bowie as you’ve never heard it before.
