about

Marianne Trudel and Karen Young, two exceptional, engaging, genuine artists, are joining forces here. One piano, one voice: atmospheric, intimate, and moving. An original and extremely touching take on songs by Joni Mitchell. Freedom, tenderness, spontaneity, and musical complicity distinguish this fabulous duo. A true gem!

"The disc’s version of Both Sides Now is a tour de force.”
Ottawa Citizen (Canada) 2018

"The poetry, the harmonies: nothing but beauty!" Le Devoir 2018

“★★★★ — Karen Young superbly embodies the style and spirit of Joni Mitchell while remaining entirely true to herself. For her part, Marianne Trudel proposes much more than accompaniment to her collaborator; the improvisations, harmonic extrapolations, and ornementation offered here are at once understated, respectful, and highly creative. These performers have mastered this repertoire and are among our most accomplished jazzwomen.” —La Presse 2018

Marianne Trudel et Karen Young, deux artistes exceptionnelles, entières et attachantes, se joignent ici dans une relecture tout à fait originale et extrêmement touchante des chansons de Joni Mitchell. Un piano, une voix: atmosphérique, intime, et émouvant. Un disque fabuleux qui respire la liberté, la tendresse, et la spontanéité.

"La poésie, les harmonies: que du beau!" -
Guillaume Bourgault-Côté- Le Devoir 2018

«★★★★ — Karen Young y incarne superbement l’esprit et le style de Joni Mitchell sans se dénaturer pour autant. De son côté, Marianne Trudel suggère beaucoup plus qu’un accompagnement à sa collègue; les improvisations, extrapolations harmoniques et ornementations ici offertes s’avèrent à la fois sobres, respectueuses et très créatives. Ces interprètes maîtrisent ce répertoire et sont parmi nos jazzwomen les plus accomplies.» —Alain Brunet- La Presse 2018

«… un album d’un tel raffinement, d’une telle liberté, d’un tel respect, d’une telle qualité…» — Sylvain Cormier, Le Devoir 2018
