Pianist Renee Rosnes: "Deep Cove"

9:03pm - 12:44am

This is a wonderful album by piano great Renee Rosnes who was born in Saskatchewan and raised in North Vancouver. Renee by the time this was recorded in 2003 in Vancouver had "made it" in New York. She had gone there earlier and by the time she returned to Vancouver to record this beautiful date she had played with trumpeter John Faddis, saxophonists Wayne Shorter and Joe Henderson and bassist Buster Williams and many others and had recorded a series of albums on Blue Note! This date was a reunion of sorts. Alto and soprano saxophonist Campbell Ryga was always one of her favorites and she had also had a musical and personal relationship with drummer Rudy Petchauer. The great bassist Neil Swainson was in town and available so this band was ready. They recorded the whole date at CBC Studios in Vancouver and it was very briefly available by the CBC. Now it is a very rare item. It is first class music and demonstrates without a doubt that Vancouver has produced so many fine Jazz players. The album is a fine balance between original tunes by Ryga and Rosnes and mixed with one by Monk, Buster Williams and pianist Stanley Cowell and ends with the beautiful standard by Alec Wilder called "While We're Young". Deep Cove is the name of the album and is our second Jazz Feature dedicated to great female Jazz instrumentalists.
