A return to the songs of Kurt Weill with a jazz trio, and sultry, dark arrangements by Scotland's Artist of the Year, pianist David Patrick. Says Bremner "I wanted to dive into the heart of the songs: whether they were filled with love or murder".

From 'The Year's at The Spring', by Amy Beach, written in 1900, to John Cage's 'Experiences No. 2' and his vocal roller-coaster 'Aria'. Songs by Paul Bowles, Charles Ives, Barbara Monk Feldman, Benjamin Britten, Jean Coulthard, William Bolcom

The Sky Was Blue asks "What is a jazz standard? Why don't they write them anymore?" As an answer, Bremner created swinging versions songs from the Velvet Underground, Talking Heads, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and others

Bremner's first recording devoted to his own personal obsession, the songs of Kurt Weill. With the French pianist, Stan Cramer, Bremner recorded heartfelt versions of songs that move from the streets of Berlin to the dazzling lights of Broadway
