When Grammy award winning guitarist Martin Taylor, who has collaborated with great singers including Peggy Lee, Martin Carthy, Jamie Cullum, Dionne Warwick and Bryn Terfel, chose to record a special duo album with a vocalist he chose the UK’s fastest rising jazz singer Alison Burns. The album, 1am, which was produced by legendary record producer Tony Platt (Bob Marley, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy), takes its inspiration from the Grammy award winning collaboration between Joe Pass & Ella Fitzgerald, mixing repertoire from The Great American Songbook and contemporary material.

Kada je gitarist Martin Taylor, dobitnik Grammyja, koji je surađivao s velikim pjevačima, uključujući Peggy Lee, Martina Carthyja, Jamieja Culluma, Dionne Warwick i Bryn Terfel, odlučio snimiti poseban album u duetu s pjevačicom, odabrao je najperspektivniju britansku jazz pjevačicu Alison Burns. Album 1am, koji je producirao legendarni producent Tony Platt (Bob Marley, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy), inspiriran je Grammyjem nagrađenom suradnjom između Joea Passa i Elle Fitzgerald, upotpunjujući repertoar iz The Great American Songbook sa suvremenim materijalom.
