Love and Friendship

The jazz and swing singer Solitaire Miles has written a musical version of Emily Brontë's poem Love and Friendship:

Please enjoy a short clip from our show last night. This new song is my first performed-in-public original, and is based on a poem by Charlotte (SIC!) Brontë. I wrote the melody and Brian Sandstrom wrote the changes. It's about roses, holly and winter and so I thought it would be a good song for the Winter Solstice. It was our first time performing it. I had written it for my Madrigal group, but I thought it was kind of mellow and could be stretched into jazz with the right changes, which Brian wrote beautifully. I was inspired by Esperanza Spalding.

Love and Friendship from Holidays in Chicago - Live by Solitaire Miles, Paulinho Garcia, Dave Gordon, Stuart Rosenberg and Frank Sinclair
