BC-based Jazz Composer Holly Burke

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with BC-based Composer Holly Burke .. She talked about the new 2022 CD Dreamride done with fellow composer Bill Runge .. In 2020, in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and after a five year struggle with post-concussion syndrome, Holly finally found herself back at the piano, improvising again. Her muse had returned. Re-invigorated, Burke shared a few new themes and unfinished compositions with musician and composer Bill Runge - a long time collaborator of Burke’s, now side-lined by the pandemic. Their collaboration yielded twenty new pieces of music. Having decided to record this new music, they could think of no better pianist for the job than the great Linda Lee Thomas, the principal pianist with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra since 1972 and member of the British Columbia Entertainment Hall of Fame...
