about

While other jazz artists have interpreted Chopin, few have done so as comprehensively, and as beautifully, as Deanna Witkowski.
-Jeff Tamarkin, associate editor, JazzTimes

On her solo piano release, Raindrop: Improvisations with Chopin, Witkowski seamlessly performs articulate, unusual jazz takes on eight Chopin works, four of which combine Chopin with Brazilian pieces (“Manhã de Carnaval,” “Olha Maria,” “Insensatez”) or rhythms (baião). Six short free improvisations are interspersed between the Chopin arrangements.
