Lateralize Records are immensely proud to announce the release of award-winning singer songwriter Jo Harrop’s stunning new single, Traveling Light, on 12th April 2024.
Written by Leonard Cohen, Traveling Light is the second single from her hugely-anticipated new studio album, The Path Of A Tear, which was produced by the legendary Larry Klein (best-known for his groundbreaking work with a host of iconic artists including Joni Mitchell, Madeleine Peyroux and Herbie Hancock).
Recorded in September 2023 at The Village Studios in Los Angeles, The Path Of A Tear is due for release on 7th June 2024 and features some of the finest jazz musicians in the world including guitarist Anthony Wilson (Diana Krall, Madeleine Peyroux), drummer Victor Indrizzo (Willie Nelson, Alanis Morissette) and pianist and Hammond B-3 organist Jim Cox (Leonard Cohen, B.B King) alongside Larry Klein on bass.
“Working with Larry Klein was something that had only been a dream for me for a long time,” Jo Harrop explains. “With such a history of iconic albums under his belt, I was extremely excited but also slightly nervous to be collaborating with him. He immediately made everything seem easy and natural. Larry trusted me and the musicians to bring our magic to the songs and allowed all of this incredible creativity to unfold. It was a surreal but wonderful experience.”
Harrop cut her teeth as a session singer before establishing herself as one of the most unmistakable voices in jazz. Having signed to London-based jazz label, Lateralize Records, she released Weathering The Storm before bursting into the spotlight with a pair of critically-acclaimed albums, The Heart Wants and When Winter Turns To Spring, her first collaboration with pianist Paul Edis.
