This Woman’s Work

Harpist Brandee Younger and bassist Dezron Douglas deliver an ear-opening rendition of the Kate Bush classic “This Woman’s Work.”

Since the song was born around 1988, it’s lived a few lives. Notably, it received a popular R&B treatment by Maxwell during a MTV Unplugged session in 1997. Younger and Douglas give it life in the new millennium, elevating the sense of yearning that pervades the song with spare and well-timed pulls on the string.

If you’ve never sat down and listened to an entire album from a harpist/bassist jazz duo, start today. The International Anthem release sounds wonderful on wax.
