Join Jennifer and her band to celebrate the launch of her new EP 'Willow'. Expect a mix of originals, contemporary jazz and more!
Fresh from the release of her sophomore album and supporting Irish tour, Jennifer McMahon brings her signature sound to JAZZ AT JUNO on November 27th. With musical influences that span from the old-school-soul sound of the 60's to the contemporary jazz compositions of the moment, Jennifer has long been garnering a reputation as a soulful and emotive storyteller.
A graduate of the renowned Berklee College of Music, she has studied alongside notable jazz musicians such as Olga Roman (voice), Perico Sambeat (sax) and Javier Vercher (sax) to name a few and has recently been featured by the college for her work as founder of the non-profit, Irish Women in Jazz. Earlier in 2024, Jennifer was awarded Culture Moves Europe Mobility Award to record the vocal/ electronic work ‘Witches, Bitches & Goddesses’ in Ljubljana.
Featured in The Goo magazine in July and September ’24, Jennifer is carving out a place for herself as a versatile and eclectic musician, producer and composer on the Irish scene. With themes that hone in on the human experience, her performances are open and honest, inviting the audience to participate at points.
Joining her at JAZZ at JUNO will be long time collaborator Darren Giles on guitar, Baz Rycraft on double bass (Conor Guilfoyle Octet) and Hugh Denman on drums and percussion (ATSCH).
Expect some original music from both of Jennifer’s albums as well as arrangements by Perico Sambeat and contemporary tunes from the likes of Esperanza Spalding.
