Description: For four decades, pianist/composer/educator Michele Rosewoman has expanded the horizons of jazz while remaining firmly rooted in tradition. A fearless bandleader and mentor, many have cited that working with Rosewoman made an indelible mark on their artistic development as musicians, composers and bandleaders.
“Rosewoman’s piano playing draws equally from the bluesy drama of Randy Weston and the ardent yet grounded freedom of Cecil Taylor…(her) music unites players with distinct personalities into a communal voice, much in the mold of Mingus or Ellington, even as she adheres to Afro Cuban traditions. It sounds bold, swinging ceremonial and formal-all at once, in many cases. The music had both stylistic swagger and spiritual heft. “
