Another stunning release from Anne Bisson! Intimate and silky vocals, backed by expert musicianship!

Canadian jazz vocalist/pianist Bisson returns with her sophomore album, maturing covers from legendary artists such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Carole King, along with two new musical gems written by Anne, this album is an audiophile must-have!

Anne is joined again by some of the best jazz musicians in Quebec and by legendary producer, conductor, and arranger Guy St-Onge. Recorded at St-Onge's Reference Studio in St-Calixte, Quebec, Canada.

An opus of jazz standards featuring expansive, original arrangements of Us and Them" by Pink Floyd, a stunning rendition of "With A Little Help From My Friends" by The Beatles, a calming transcription of "Call Me/You've Got A Friend" by Carole King, an alluringly sweet adaptation of "The Nearness Of You" by Hoagy Carmichael.

"Canada's Oracle Audio had a room that contained the Vienna Acoustics Klimt The Kiss speakers along with every product they make. The highlight, though, was seeing singer Anne Bisson there and hearing her new release, Portraits & Perfumes, on LP and CD, using Oracle's CD player and turntable, of course. Comparing the two formats was interesting. In our opinion, the LP won by having a little more presence and soul. What was also surprising was the LP's lack of surface noise and the fact that it was pressed in Montreal, Bisson's hometown." - www.soundstageglobal.com
