I am very excited to be involved in Fini’s beautiful homemade solo album ‘La Loba‘ which was released in October 2020.  This is an imaginative, distinctive and moving collection of songs from one of my all-time favourite singer-songwriters!

The record received 4 star reviews and made it onto Editor’s Choice/Album of the Year lists. Here are some excerpts from reviews! 

‘A highly impressive achievement, with Bearman’s skilfully constructed arrangements providing the perfect accompaniment to her intelligent, poetic, and occasionally enigmatic, lyrics.’ Ian Mann, The Jazzman

‘Just two performers, but with a sound that has all the fullness and tonal variation of a much larger ensemble… The album’s most distinctive instrumental sound, key to evoking its many moods and sensations, is Jagodzinska’s cello. Whether she’s partnered with nothing more than Bearman’s voice or blending together with overdubbed vocals and multiple instruments (‘My Ideal’), Jagodzinska’s playing is sympathetic and imaginative.’ All About Jazz- Bruce Lindsay 

‘The only timbre you hear which isn’t supplied by Bearman is the beautifully expressive playing of Zosia Jagodzinska, whose complete engagement with the music adds immeasurably to the overall effect, nowhere more so than on the beguiling ‘Holding On’. Peter Quinn- Jazzwise
