Our Take

Renée Rosnes has always been a piano virtuoso, but with Beloved Of The Sky, she's really reaching for the stars(or should I say sky?) The album is a delightful blend of jazz and classical influences, showcasing Rosnes' technical prowess and deep emotional connection to the music.

From the opening track "Eleven Sunsets" to the cinematic "Galapagos," each song takes you on a journey through Rosnes' musical world. The album is like a fine wine, getting better with each listen as you uncover new layers and nuances in the compositions.

Rosnes is joined by an all-star band including Chris Potter on saxophone, Christian McBride on bass, and Lenny White on drums, creating a tight-knit ensemble that elevates the music to new heights. Their chemistry is palpable, with each musician complementing the others' playing perfectly.

Tracks like "Persuasion" and "River Phoenix" showcase Rosnes' incredible ability to tell a story through her playing, drawing the listener in and making them feel like they're part of the narrative. It's a testament to her skill as a composer and arranger that each song feels cohesive and complete, yet also leaves room for improvisation and exploration.

Overall, Beloved Of The Sky is a triumph for Renée Rosnes and a must-listen for any jazz lover. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let the music take you away on a journey through the clouds.
