Pianist/singer Olivia Trummer will give New York jazz fans a taste of her unique musical personality and beguiling charms when she plays The Cutting Room at 10 pm on Wednesday, January 29th. The young German leads a trio comprised of drumming legend and former Miles Davis sideman Jimmy Cobb and veteran New York bassist John Webber, who has played with saxophonists Johnny Griffin and Von Freeman and pianist Horace Silver.

Trummer has won admirers wherever she has played, earning the praise of singer Bobby McFerrin—with whom she performed in Baden Baden in July 2013—and multi-reed instrumentalist Django Bates. With five albums as leader under her belt, Trummer’s strengths as a composer and arranger are well documented but it’s onstage where her vocal and pianistic skills really come into their own.

Her original songs, performed in both German and English are delivered with a lightness and sensuality reminiscent of Gretchen Parlato, though stylistically Trummer is clearly very much her own woman. Jazz standards too are given the Trummer treatment, refined and remolded to sound anew.

A classically trained, versatile musician, Trummer has played solo, in duos and trios and in a quintet, winning critical and audience approval across Europe. The Cutting Room crowd will get a foretaste of Trummer’s forthcoming CD, and with master musicians Cobb and Webber bringing all their years of experience to the trio it promises to be a great event.

For tickets and information call (212) 691-1900 visit The Cutting Room website.

For those curious to get an early glimpse of Olivia Trummer’s talent, she is a guest of Jazz for Kids at Jazz Standard on Sunday morning, January 26th. The performance is free but donations are welcome and go towards fostering a love of jazz in New York children.
