Pianist, singer and composer Olivia Trummer brings her singular artistry, described by Jazzwise as “a joy: eclectic, illuminating and uplifting”, to Cambridge Jazz Festival in an intimate concert of originals, jazz and popular song refreshed with classical allusions and flowing style.

Classically-trained, Olivia Trummer impresses equally as a virtuosic pianist, singer, composer and improviser. Her exceptional talent and musical approach have led her to sharing the stage with Kurt Rosenwinkel, Eric Clapton and Bobby McFerrin, performing at festivals like Montreux and Umbria Jazz and at London's Ronnie Scotts. This concert she performs from her solo album "Like Water“, recorded in New York by Russ Titelman (who has worked with many major artists including the Beach Boys, Chaka Kahn and George Harrison), offering songs in English, Italian and German that flow naturally from a classical prelude to a deconstructed jazz standard. Beethoven and Bach blend seamlessless with Stevie Wonder, Sting and Jerome Kern. Olivia's own songs are touching, uplifting and daring, and her scat singing, in perfect unity with the piano, has been compared to George Benson and his guitar.

"A lot of jazz these days sounds like humanity has only two days left. Not so with Olivia Trummer. Her kind of jazz carries a driving pulse turned toward life." NDR Culture
