Jazz Feature: Pianist/composer Sharan Minemoto: "Dark Night, Bright Stars"

from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR 101.9 Vancouver

Tonight's Jazz Feature is pianist/composer Sharon Minemoto who has been a very important musician on the Vancouver Jazz scene as a leader and sidewoman. This is her latest album just released on the Cellar Live label. It's called "Dark Nights, Bright Stars" and it features her long standing group of her favorite musicians. Jon Bentley on tenor saxophone, Darren Radke on bass, and Bernie Arai on drums. These musicians all met when they were students at Capilano University and enrolled in the music program. Their chemistry and feel for one another is very evident on this fine recording. All the compositions are by Sharon Minemoto and reflective of the changes in her life and times. This album should demonstrate to anyone who hears this as to the quality and caliber of Vancouver Jazz musicians. The album is a gem and I take pride sharing it with you on tonight's Jazz Feature.
