Janette Mason (Oasis, Pulp, Holy Holy) and Juliet Roberts (Caught In The Middle, I Want You) are two musical warriors, both rich with the accumulated experience of long and successful careers spanning across the genres of pop, jazz, dance and soul. When Janette first started working with Juliet, she immediately saw the potential for a deep and fruitful collaboration, and the pair soon started meeting and writing regularly together.
AYRA is the result – a unique project delivering heartfelt original material drenched in the heritage of soul, spiced with the rhythms of funk and R&B, always expressed straight from the heart.
Together they’ve assembled a band of some of the very best in the business, including UK session legend Yolanda Charles on bass and Lily Carassik on trumpet.

JAZZ WISE MAGAZINE 4 ****
“Beautifully produced and thoughtfully put together…. long may she continue to put out music of this quality and variety.” Victoria Kingham
ReWired is the new acoustic trio project from acclaimed composer, arranger and pianist, Janette Mason.
Janette Mason has a storied career playing for multiple artists across the worlds of jazz and pop. As a session player she’s toured with some of the biggest pop names in the business including Oasis and Pulp, and as a band leader she’s released a series of acclaimed jazz albums featuring some of the UK’s most respected players.
For her latest project, ReWired, she’s selected a basket full of all the tunes that mean the most to her, from timeless standards to modern chart classics and reworked each of them. No-one is off limits and the repertoire draws from everyone from Gary Numan and David Bowie to Kate Bush and Olivia Rodrigo, with Janette’s fierce and inventive arrangements pulling everything together.
“The ReWired project is a true coming-together of kindred spirits, musically and in heart, mind and soul. The extraordinary rapport between the musicians was at its most palpable during Lane Del Ray’s ‘Video Games’… Tom Mason’s sublime bass lines fused with Eric Ford’s percussion to add rich tonal colouring to Janette’s dream-like inventions at the keyboard. Perfect!” Trevor Bannister
