Lisanne Tremblay
Lisanne Tremblay’s debut album was created from a place of deep love for music and improvisation. It documents her relentless quest for a new language and incorporates elements from bebop to modern jazz in a way that has never been heard on the violin. The result is stunning:
“The recording is fantastic! It’s fresh, different and just what the world needs to hear.” – Greg Osby
“This is an important development for the growing international community of improvising string players.” – Christian Howes
