AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Lynne Arriale Trio

Artist:Lynne Arriale Trio
Song:Tones For Joan's Bones
Album:Inspiration





Jazz pianist Lynne Arriale was discovered in the 90s. She has recorded several albums with her trio including this 2002 album. She was born May 29, 1957 in Milwaukee. She has a Masters degree in classical music from the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music. But she was drawn to jazz by Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. Her big break came when she won the 1993 Great American Jazz Piano Competition. That got her a record deal with DMP. Lynne is also a member of the faculty at the Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshops. After three albums on DMP, Lynne moved to the Swiss label TCB. Her version of the Chick Corea song Tones For Joan's Bones is from the 2002 album Inspiration with Jay Anderson on bass and Steve Davis on drums. Both guys are veteran sidemen. Davis is also an instructor at the Aebersold workshop. She continued to record with this trio after she left TCB for Motema. Lynne last recorded in 2011. But she still tours and she is currently a Professor of Jazz Studies at North Florida University. Here's the Lynne Arriale Trio performing Tones For Joan's Bones at JazzOpen in Stuttgart, Germany 2002.
