RELEASE NOTES
Katy Roberts is known for her solo piano performances, her accompanying skills,
and for her skills as a composer, arranger and bandleader. She has been on the
Parisien scene since 1990 and has lead her own trio, quartet, and more recently,
her quintet and septet. She recently performed with her quintet at the Maine
International film festival (July, 2004) and at the Madagascar Jazz Festival
(Oct., 2004.) She will be performing this July at the Zanzibar Film festival .
Her performances are top-notch, and the music has been quoted as "...jazz like
we love it, swinging elegantly, moving the soul", (Jazz Magazine, April, 2003),
"...power, energy and beauty, there is no shortage of swing here!",(Eric
Jackson, WGBH radio, Boston), "...clean, angular phrasing full of stabbing
chords..." (Cadence Magazine, Nov., 2003).
"As for Roberts, she makes you think of...all the modern pianists that mix swing
and a harmonic-rhythmic approach (Horace Tapscott, John Hicks, Larry Willis)." ,
and "...music that prolongs the legacy of Coltrane in his insistent sound and
lively lyricism." (Jazz Hot, April, 2003.)
Katy has recorded and produced two new CD's in the past 2 years that are Katy
Roberts Septet, The Vibe, released in Jan., 2003, and Katy Roberts Quintet, Live
α l'Archipel, released in April, 2004.)
