James Dyson

Aspirapolvere, phon, ventilatori e purificatori d’aria: il marchio Dyson è da decenni sinonimo di geniale innovazione tecnologica, unita a un iconico design d’avanguardia che si è ormai imposto come un classico del settore. Eppure il suo enorme successo ha avuto inizio con ben 5126 prototipi realizzati e scartati dal fondatore James Dyson in soli quattro anni, prima di arrivare a una soluzione – la 5127a – soddisfacente per il suo celebre aspirapolvere ciclonico. Anzi, a ben vedere la sua storia è partita prima ancora, nella swinging London degli anni Sessanta, quando James frequentava il Royal College of Art e si muoveva tra stilisti, designer, artisti pop ed eccentrici inventori, guardando anche a quelli che considerava «eroi dell’ingegneria»: personaggi del calibro di Frank Whittle e Alec Issigonis…

As one of the most inspiring stories in business today, Dyson’s improbable success is retold here as a celebration of a brand that has become a symbol of great 21st century innovation and design.

As James Carter's career has progressed he's always attempted something new, never just producing an album without building on the previous one. On this album of Billy Holiday tracks he not only places himself within the confines of what could seen as an album of covers,(relatively well known tunes as well) but also chooses to add strings to the mix, as well as three tracks with vocalist Miche Braden. That it works so well and so effectively is a tribute to both Carter and his arrangers Greg Cohen and Cassius Richmond.
