Norma Ann Winstone MBE (born 23 September 1941) is an English jazz singer and lyricist. In a career spanning more than 50 years she is best known for her wordless improvisations. In 1971 she was voted top singer in the Melody Maker Jazz Poll. She recorded the album Edge of Time under her own name in 1972. Winstone contributed vocals to Ian Carr's Nucleus on that band's 1973 release Labyrinth, a jazz-rock concept album based on the Greek myth about the Minotaur. Winstone has worked with many major European musicians and visiting Americans, as well as with most of her peers in British jazz, including Garrick, John Surman, Michael Gibbs, Mike Westbrook and her former husband, the pianist John Taylor. Well Kept Secret (with Jimmy Rowles, piano; recorded 1993, Hot House, 1995; re-released on Sunnyside in 2017).
Norma Winstone is one of the most recognizable vocalists from the United Kingdom. During her nearly 50-year career, she has performed in many varieties of situations, from the improvisatory world of avant-garde to the classic tastefulness of the jazz songbook

Unfortunately, Norma Winstone is a well-kept secret. Her voice is warm and soothing, her phrasing is artful, and her choice of material is exquisite. Her words to Jimmy Rowles' "The Peacocks", retitled "A Timeless Place", are now a standard, recorded by only the best vocalists, such as Mark Murphy, Tierney Sutton, Jeri Brown, and the Swingle Singers. Ms. Winstone usually presents non-standard repertoire, but this CD is mostly standards. I hope she records more collections of standards in the future. Jimmy Rowles was perhaps the finest accompanist of female singers.
