KIT DOWNES piano

album „newfoundland tristesse“ out on BMC records April 11th 2025

„There’s a quirkier but just as compatible union in Ronny Graupe’s Szelest, a trio featuring the fragile and precise Swiss singer Lucia Cadotsch along with innovative German guitarist Graupe and UK pianist/composer Kit Downes. On the album Newfoundland Tristesse (BMC), Cadotsch is alert and inventive as she makes old-school material – even Stardust and I Surrender Dear are included here – converse creatively with sometimes implacably independent partners. It’s a set that will grow her status as a jazz-leaning musical one-off.“
