North Vancouver native Brandi Disterheft is a young bassist and composer who is fast becoming one of jazz’s brightest lights. She has already made a huge impression on thousands of listeners, for both her imaginative live shows as well as her inventive recordings. Her first album, Debut, won her the 2008 JUNO award, and her CV already catalogues successful concerts as far away as Japan and Haiti, and at jazz festivals from Vienna to Chicago, and a performance at Carnegie Hall.
It’s not only her fiery bass playing and charismatic performances that make people take notice. It’s also her innovative writing style, informed by various influences, from Mingus to Bjork. As Oscar Peterson once said, “She is what we call serious.”

Musiciens: Brandi Disterheft (contrebasse et voix), William Sperandei (trompette), Sly Juhas (batterie), James Robertson (guitare), Stacie McGregor (piano)
