Red Alert CD Releae March 16
Red Alert is Janette’s new CD with the powerhouse of Jack Pollitt on drums – founder member of the popular Brit-soul band Mamas Gun and Tom Mason on bass – an extraordinary musician whose live work includes Lizz Wright and Robert Mitchell.
Red Alert marks a new direction for the trio combining synthesizers with piano. For the forthcoming album, Janette is aiming to develop her contemporary jazz sound using interesting time scapes, strong grooves and a cinematic texture. Her influences are wide-ranging and eclectic, from Dave Brubeck to David Bowie and Herbie Hancock to Goldfrap.
She has never shied away from making music that is complex and challenging but with a keen ear for melody and a powerful sense of rhythm whilst staying true to her unique compositional style.
Her music has been described as being similar to EST and The Bad Plus.
