Christine Jensen has built a reputation as an
original voice on both the Canadian and
International jazz scene. In May 2000 she released
her debut recording featuring her sextet entitled
Collage on Effendi Records, which went on to
receive rave reviews internationally. "Jensen has
arrived with a beautiful bang, making spirited,
positive music" -Ottawa Citizen "Collage is a
carefully layered work that reveals new musical
vistas with each listening" -JazzTimes Magazine
A Shorter Distance has given Jensen the chance to
arrange her music for quintet, sextet, and septet
formations. Adding the texture of guitar opened up
a whole new spectrum of sound to explore, as it
created a rich palette when combined with the
piano. She was also able to further the development
of the three-horn sound which she has spent a
decade working on with her counterparts, Ingrid on
trumpet and Joel Miller on tenor saxophone. The
presence of Jon Wikan on drums gave her the "New
York drive" that she was exploring over the last
few years, as she has spent considerable amounts of
time studying and sessioning her music there.
