Kate Wyatt is a Montréal jazz pianist. Her debut album makes the feat all the more remarkable. On the one hand that doesn’t surprise — one of the musicians, double bassist Adrian Vedady is, after all, Wyatt’s husband and long-time collaborator, and trumpeter Lex French and drummer Jim Doxas are in-demand players who enhance any session on which they appear. Even so, their interactions arrest, with each track feeling like an adventure undertaken by four travellers ever-amenable to abrupt changes in direction. As a pianist who’s been part of the Montréal jazz scene for over twenty years (a McGill graduate too), Wyatt’s excellence and musicianship have long been recognized by city locals.
