NEA Jazz Masters: Joanne Brackeen (2018)

[@virabadrasana]

A lot about Joanne Brackeen really moves me: 'Nothing needs to be taught, just experienced'; 'If you're playing with a group of people, and all of a sudden it's one person playing'. I really love this interview, and her music too - what an inspiring person.

I have been in awe of this woman since I first heard on public radio in the early 80's

I got some of her albums in the 1970s and fell in love with her sound. A fantastic pianist. One of the best.

She sounds like a real sweetie as well as being an awesome pianist..I remember reading that she'd been a pianist with Getz but otherwise know very little about her..I guess I'm going to have to change that. 😊
