“Beautifully produced and thoughtfully put together….Long May she continue to put out music of this quality and variety.” Victoria Kingham
No-one is off limits and the repertoire draws from everyone from Gary Numan and David Bowie to Kate Bush and Olivia Rodrigo, with Janette’s fierce and inventive arrangements pulling everything together. Mixing deep grooves, gutsy swing, blazing solos and unforgettable melody, this is timeless music re-wired for the present day.
“It’s a truism to report that the trio with bassist Tom Mason and drummer Eric Ford have clearly worked extremely consciously and thoroughly with the pianist/composer to get under the complexities, twists and turns of Janette Mason’s music, but the balance and clarity they were bringing to every tune last night was something very special. The balance in an experienced piano trio like this can persuade one – if only briefly – that all can be right with the world”
