MARTHA WAINWRIGHT (London Jazz Cafe, 12/01/10)



There's very few artists that can hold my attention with just an acoustic guitar, but Martha Wainwright's got the voice and vivaciousness to carry it off. Not even the stress of recent motherhood can blunt her sharp wit and charisma, and her sublime Edith Piaf covers, not to mention the surprise guest appearance of her father Loudon, made this one of the more memorable sets I've seen in recent times.
