The album was met with widespread acclaim and it has led to the rapid rise of Wyatt\u0027s star on the Canadian jazz scene. She will be taking her quartet on a tour of Canada\u0027s jazz festivals this summer, including a stop in Ottawa on June 30. But before that, her band will play a cosier show this Saturday night at GigSpace Performance Studio on Gladstone Avenue.
The album features Wyatt joined by trumpeter Lex French, bassist Adrian Vedady , and drummer Jim Doxas. Wyatt says this lineup of close friends wound up playing together for the first time a few years ago practically by accident.
“I ended up on the gig and it was an incredible night,” Wyatt says. “It was this instant chemistry where we were all listening and responding to each other and pushing each other into uncharted musical territory.” Her compositions serve as vehicles for “adventurous” improvising. “I’m not afraid to colour outside the lines, and I love to push the boundaries of rhythmic and harmonic tension, and then try and find the sweet spot of resolution,” Wyatt says.
She says she also spent a lot of time listening to Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett, two pillars of modern jazz piano, while the compositions of Wayne Shorter, Billy Strayhorn, Thelonious Monk and Kenny Wheeler caught her ear. But as Wyatt suggests, she sounds more like herself and less like a devotee of any of these musical greats.Article content
