Jann Rutherford (piano)
Jann Rutherford is one of the most distinctive voices in Australian jazz. A young New-Zealand-born pianist, this is her first solo CD. It contains only original compositions, and was funded by the Emerging Artists Scheme of the Australia Council. Australia's greatest jazz pianist Mike Nock writes this introduction to Jann Rutherford:
'Jann Rutherford is a wonderful pianist. With this beautifully recorded debut solo CD, I would hope a much larger audience, who might otherwise never have the opportunity to delight in her music, can now get to hear for themselves why she is so highly respected among her fellow musicians. Playing a variety of original compositions and improvisations, Jann explores many moods in which her beautiful sound, sensitive ear for harmonic nuance and warm expressiveness are heard to full advantage.' |
REVIEWS
Pianist Jann Rutherford's wait to record her first album is reflected in its feeling of full ripeness. Flights of Fancy I is an exceptional improvisation: spacious and gentle, with a compelling narrative capped by glorious treble notes left glistening in the air. ... The compositions are to be admired as much as her consummate playing, sharing a trademark concision of ideas. ... Superbly recorded, the piano will live in your listening room.
