Pianist and composer Lynne Arriale’s exquisite new album Being Human will be released March 1, 2024 via Challenge Records and she’s celebrating with a 15-date tour March 6 – 24 and May 4 – 24.
★★★★ “…easily the most outstanding album we have heard recently…summons all the resources that Arriale has at her disposal from composition to performance, deep immersion in the language of jazz piano and a trio that allows everything, beat, groove and pulse, to break through and shine.” – Marlbank UK
Being Human, pianist-composer Lynne Arriale‘s 17th album as a leader, is her fourth for Challenge Records International. Being Human, a suite of 10 original compositions, celebrates the ways that our lives are enriched by acts of passion, courage, love, persistence, heart, soul, curiosity, faith and joy. Featuring bassist Alon Near and drummer Lukasz Zyta, the album explores these life-affirming facets of humankind. Many of the songs are dedicated to people who’ve inspired Arriale, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman and Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai.
