Lynne Arriale - solo piano

Lynne Arriale’s remarkable career is graced by a rare commitment to authenticity and vulnerability defined by careful craft and high artistic standards. It is precisely this willingness to remain so emotionally exposed that makes her performances so accessible to music lovers of all kinds.

If the nature of jazz is “reinvention,” then pianist/composer Lynne Arriale has truly led the jazz life, following a personal and musical journey throughout which she has reinvented herself, her craft and her artistic direction. The consummate storyteller, Arriale immediately connects with her audience through emotionally charged performances. Her compelling compositions, refreshing melodies, and reinterpretations of pop and rock classics not only bring accolades from critics but help create new audiences of listeners previously unfamiliar with jazz.

At the core of Arriale’s appeal are her warmth, humor and ability to communicate with her band and audiences listeners. “She achieves a special, deep connection with her audience, and the energy flows both ways. Arriale’s emotional authenticity allows her audience to feel and think along with her” (Jazz Times). One ingredient to her success has been Lynne’s focus on the melody regardless of where spontaneous improvisation takes her. “I search for the ‘heart’ of the song, find what makes it special to me and use it as musical inspiration,” says Lynne. “This search for new music is related to giving voice to the music inside me; it increases my musical passion.”

A devoted educator, Lynne is currently Associate Professor of Jazz Studies and Director of Small Ensembles at The University of North Florida in Jacksonville and conducts educational clinics and master classes throughout the world.

With each new release, each new tour, Lynne’s critical acclaim and audience appeal rise another notch. That she continually exceeds the very best of her past efforts speaks volumes of Lynne Arriale’s versatility and virtuosity as composer, arranger, performer and bandleader. After having released a dozen trio and quartet recordings, Lynne’s musical explorations continue with her first solo piano recording, entitled “Solo,” which was released on Motema Music in 2012. Her two previous visits to the Yardbird Suite were with her trio. This will be our first opportunity to hear her in a solo context.
