The Natalie Brett Quartet is: Carol Sawyer vocals, Lisa Cay Miller piano, Clyde Reed bass, Kenton Loewen drums.
The Natalie Brett Quartet is inspired by a fictional character that Sawyer invented, NATALIE BRETTSCHNEIDER – for a feminist visual art project that challenges the ways in which art history has downplayed the contributions of women. This LP explores what Natalie Brettschneider’s brief flirtation with mainstream jazz in the 1940’s and 1950’s might have sounded like. The record launched December 9 2022 at 8EAST in Vancouver, and will be celebrated with an encore concert at the Vancouver Art Gallery January 6, 2023. LPs are available for sale at the Vancouver Art Gallery bookstore, or via bandcamp.
