The unstoppable duo of Claire Martin and Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, a partnership polished over two decades, release their stylish new album 'Witchcraft', a sparkling celebration of the music of Cy Coleman.

The duo launch 'Witchcraft' with a special concert in celebration of Sir Richard's 75th birthday at Wigmore Hall. Claire will return to New York with Sir Richard in May 2011 to perform at the prestigious Algonquin Hotel.

Claire Martin's career continues to flourish: in 2010 Claire was named 'Best Vocalist' at the British Jazz Awards for the second year running.

Claire and Sir Richard's first duo album, 'When Lights are Low', received wide critical acclaim.

Claire Martin has spent the last 20 years honing the craft of jazz singing. To worldwide audiences she has established herself as a tour-de-force on the international jazz scene, gaining many awards including six British Jazz Awards.

Claire is also known to fans through the BBC Radio 3 programme Jazz Line-Up, which she co-presents.

Claire has performed internationally with the finest musicians and also performs regularly with Sir Richard in an intimate duo setting where they play to sell-out crowds.

Sir Richard is considered to be the greatest jazz composer of his generation and is widely known for composing the film soundtrack 'Murder on the Orient Express'.
