Jazz in the Hall
With Ryan McNally
An extraordinary pianist, Marianne Trudel is one of the most respected jazz musicians in Canada … held her audience spellbound with some deeply adventurous, lyrical and utterly personal music.
A piano, a drum set, a thousand ideas. The happy and highly creative encounter of pianist and composer Marianne Trudel with world renowned drummer and composer John Hollenbeck.
“John Hollenbeck likes to blur the distinctions between the knotty virtuosity of jazz and the broad appeal of pop. … Hollenbeck leads from the drums with an airy lightness reminiscent of Jack DeJohnette …” ~ Jude Noel, Pitchfork/Company of Heaven
Their music plunges the listener into an infinite panorama of colours and grooves with inviting beauty, intuition, dreams, mystery, transe and poetry. Marianne Trudel offers up a whole new cycle of compositions that are both pared down and refined, mysterious and enticing. Where catchy grooves, enchanting melodies, surprising sonorities, and joyous spontaneity go hand in hand.
