1997 JUNO AWARD WINNER, BEST JAZZ ALBUM
Rosnes has woven a varicolored musical tapestry out of turmoil: the death of her adoptive mother and the discovery of her birth mother. Underlining Rosnes’ blend of rich technique and emotional impact, this album draws on Brazilian-to-bop-and-beyond materials to deftly explore the distinct, sometimes turbulent, sometimes uplifting moods and feelings these powerful events have evoked.
