Joanna MacGregor - Soul Of A Woman
To celebrate International Women’s Day, award-winning pianist Joanna MacGregor curates a rich journey from the Deep South to New York, from Russian poetry to an African paradise. This beautiful solo set includes Florence Price’s romantic music, spiritual arrangements - Margaret Bond’s 'Troubled Water' as well as MacGregor’s explorations of 'Deep River' and 'Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child' - as well as Mary Lou Williams’ spikey, witty jazz solos from the 'Zodiac Suite'. Eleanor Alberga bases her epic piano work on Pushkin’s 'It’s time, my friend, it’s time', weaving a yearning for peace with the play of African dance rhythms. The recital ends with the magnificent Nina Simone: 'Blackbird', 'Little Girl Blue', and her take on 'Good Bait', an astonishing melding of Bach, Liszt and her fierce jazz artistry.
