Bassist and composer Brandi Disterheft is fast becoming one of jazz’s brightest lights. Brandi’s premiere 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 Björk. As Oscar Peterson said, “She is what we call serious.”
