TOMORROW, JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE
EMMA GILMARTIN (vocals), TONY GOULD (Piano)

Standards and soft jazz classics - add an exquisite voice of rare beauty and musicality, and a wonderful sensitivity to lyrics - a very special album indeed. All songs, new or old, are treated in the same way - music is timeless - all are 'first takes' and spontaneously conceived, giving a real feel of vitality and part-improvisation, just as in the best live concert tradition.

An Australian artist of extraordinary talent, accompanied by one of that country's most accomplished and well respected jazz pianists.

 review extracts:
“satisfying ... heartfelt ... what [Gilmartin] offers is a lovely voice, unerring accuracy of pitch and the ability to phrase lyrics in keeping with the song: all qualities fundamental to the signer's art, but not as common as they should be.” - Adrian Jackson, The Bulletin
“This program of soulful songs permeates the consciousness subtly and with increasing conviction at each listening ... atmospherically crafted.” - Michael Foster, Canberra Times
“Emma Gilmartin's voice is sultry and experienced, despite her age ... Tony Gould will forgive me for dwelling on his singing partner. We expect something close to perfection from him, and he delivers it; but Gilmartin is a real find.” - Andrew Ford, Australian Financial Review
“well worth the listen ... the voice of Emma Gilmartin - crystal clear in tone and clarity, and with a quality that captures the stillness of the moment ... is surrounded by the perfection of Tony Gould's exquisite arrangements and pianistic abilities ... a wonderful debut CD and a piece of work to be proud of ... recording quality is also excellent” - Caroline Lynn-Bayne, MCA Music Forum
“Gilmartin refurbishes a song through a crystalline purity of vibrato-less tone and flawless pitch. Indeed, her pitch is so perfect that it is almost unsettling ... Gould's legato phrasing, melodic variation and ornamentation, and his emotional impact provide an ideal accompaniment that colours the voice. Listening to their dialogue is part of the treat.” - Leon Gettler, The Age 'Green Guide'
