Janette Mason is a jazz pianist, a composer for film and TV, an arranger and producer of all genres from jazz to soul to pop, and a dedicated and heartfelt musical communicator. Over the course of a thirty year career she has quietly but emphatically made her presence felt, delighting audiences with her skills in all kinds of settings, from tiny jazz clubs to international film and TV projects.
To those in the know she’s become a byword for artistic quality and emotional authenticity. Her music embraces the complexity and challenge of modern jazz but always reaches out to the listener with its honesty and directness of expression, and as a result she’s established a reputation that’s as revered by critics and her fellow musicians as it is by the listening public.
Whether leading her own trio in jazz re-workings of pop classics, playing sessions with Oasis, Pulp, or Seal, working with legendary producer Tony Visconti’s Best Of Bowie Project, scoring for film and TV, or launching her latest project AYRA in collaboration with vocal legend Juliet Roberts, Janette always stays true to her core values – a commitment to musical excellence combined with a generous, giving sensibility that reaches out to audiences and ensures that the message in the music is always there to be heard.
Janette is currently Artist In Residence at The Exchange Theatre in Twickenham and keyboard player for Tony Visconti’s Best Of Bowie Project.
