"This eight-track album (Emeralds & Other Little Gems) from British-born Adele Wilding - one of the UK's leading jazz singer/songwriters and pianists - is an excellent showcase for her talents...Well worth a listen, especially her free jazz numbers and the red-hot backing group."...

Award-winning Adele Wilding is a multi-talented composer, arranger, songwriter, producer, vocalist and pianist. Her sincere vocal delivery, finely crafted melodies, introspective lyrics and innovative but accessible arrangements are rapidly making her one of the UK's foremost singer/songwriters.
Following the release of her acclaimed, self-financed and self-produced debut CD, "Emeralds (& Other Little Gems)", Adele has been receiving plaudits and increasing recognition from both sides of the Atlantic.
Born in Colchester, England to a Barbadian mother and white English father, Adele is a classically trained pianist and contralto. Her musical training culminated in the Diploma in Jazz and Popular Music Studies (performance, composition and arranging) from the renowned Goldsmiths College, University of London. She has since been performing in premiere jazz and live music venues in London and throughout the UK, among them the Jazz Café, the Sands jazz venue, the Hackney Empire Bullion room, and the Troubadour Club. Recent gig highlights include a solo appearance at the New Vortex Jazz Club, London and a well received performance at the Tavistock Music Festival, Devon, backed by the excellent Anderson Jazz Quartet.
In October 2005, Adele was awarded the BWA Nina Simone Jazz Award 2005 at the Vortex Jazz Club, London.
2006 brought forth new changes in direction for Ms Wilding. In May 2006, she qualified as a voiceover artist and recorded a voiceover demo. In November 2006, she recorded an electro-acoustic demo, featuring the original recording of 'This Deepest Azure' (remixed version now on Myspace).
June 2008: Adele has released a sampler, in anticipation of her new acoustic CD, due for release in 2009.
