When Lights Are Low is a sophisticated collaboration between the preeminent British jazz vocalist Claire Martin and the legendary composer-pianist Sir Richard Rodney Bennett. Released in 2005 on the prestigious Linn Records label, this album is a masterclass in intimacy, blending classic standards with a refined, "black-tie" elegance.
The recording captures a unique musical chemistry. Bennett’s piano style—described as "bipolar" for its ability to shift from the grit of Dr. John to the polished swing of Fred Astaire—provides the perfect foil for Martin’s warm, expressive phrasing. While the album features seven solo showcases for Bennett, the undeniable highlights are the three duets, most notably the sublime interweaving of "The Very Thought of You" and "I Thought About You."
