Kate Wyatt Jazz Trio at Kingston Public Library October 19th 2 pm
Kate Wyatt is playing with an amazing trio next Saturday! Come out on Saturday, October 19th 2024 to the Kingston Public Library main branch (Johnson Street) at 2 pm. The concert will be in the Second floor Meeting Room Number 1 (formerly known as The Wilson Room).
Admission is $25 at the door.
Special guest: vocalist Chantal Thompson will sing some songs at the beginning of the concert!
Originally from Victoria BC, pianist and composer Kate Wyatt is now considered one of the top tier jazz musicians in the city of Montreal. She has been praised as having “musical ideas and a style of playing and writing that is on par with the current jazz piano elite: Mehldau, Yaron Herman, Shai Maestro, Fred Hersch.”, and has been hailed as “one of the top artists of Montreal, Quebec, or even Canadian jazz.” (Cardin/Brunet, panm360.com). Her debut album “Artifact” was released to overwhelmingly excellent critical reviews, and was featured on “Best
Jazz of 2022” lists from Canada, the US and Europe.
From Peter Hum of the Ottawa Citizen: “Pianist and composer Kate Wyatt is making some of Canada’s most exciting and engrossing small-ensemble jazz these days”. Following on the heels of an extensive cross-Canada tour,
she brings us her latest project: Kate Wyatt Trio “Murmurations”.
Murmuration is the phenomenon of hundreds of thousands of birds flying in mesmerizing harmony, responding to one another on a seemingly telepathic level. Wyatt’s Murmurations project references that kind of effortless, magical, group chemistry: a sensibility that lies at the foundation of this trio. Kate Wyatt (piano), Adrian Vedady (bass) and Louis-Vincent Hamel (drums) connect on a deep musical level and display an amazing capacity for deep listening and group interplay, surprising and exciting their listeners with the continuous creation of spontaneous musical moments.
Kate Wyatt has performed with many recognized and respected musicians, including Kenny Wheeler, Jay Clayton, Ira Coleman, Yannick Rieu, Christine Jensen, Itamar Borochov, Ranee Lee, Don Thompson, Barry Elmes, Al McLean, and the Orchestre national de jazz de Montreal (ONJ). She has a passion for improvisation and innovation, and strives for a high level of
sensitivity and interaction in her performances. Her music has been recognized with awards from the Canada Council for the Arts, FACTOR, and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.
As well as being a passionate performer and composer, Wyatt is a deeply invested music educator. She conducts masterclasses and heads the jazz program at Marianopolis College. Kate has been working as part of the Canadian Amateur Musicians/Musiciens Amateurs du Canada (CAMMAC) teaching team for over 10 years and has recently been asked to join the
faculty at JazzWorks Canada.
