Montreal pianist Kate Wyatt excels at exploratory jazz
How old are you, and how long have you lived in Montreal? Tell me what appeals to you about the music scene there.After I graduated from McGill, I had no desire to move away. Montreal has a really vibrant arts scene, and, especially back then, it had a really low cost of living, which allowed for musicians to focus on their art without needing to give a lot of time and energy to money-making. I can’t imagine leaving at this point.
Yes, I’m so happy with the reception that Artifact has received! And I’ve had a lot of people ask me why it took that long for me to come out with my first album. In all those years I was still writing music, developing my voice as an improviser and composer, and playing in certain groups with certain people, but it’s only in the past few years, now that my kids are old enough to look after themselves, that I’ve really made myself known in the scene again.
How would you describe what you’re going for as a composer, pianist and bandleader? With respect to these roles, who have you looked up to, and why?
