An intimate song cycle of love and longing, 'Passion of a Lonely Heart' is Jana Herzen's second release, the first since founding her acclaimed Motéma Music label. Her seven exquisite originals and four transcendent cover selections pass through four seasons and continents on their musical journey to the center of the human heart. The nuanced dance between Herzen's evocative vocals and guitar and Charnett Moffett's sensitive bass improvisations are reminiscent of the magic of the Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass duets. This album heralds the rise of a brilliant new pairing on the international jazz scene.
