Innovative up-and-coming jazz double-bassist wows audiences worldwide.

Jazz bassist Brandi Disterheft will stamp her name all over the next decade. While still in her twenties, Brandi’s premiere album Debut won her the 2008 JUNO and she’s already jammed her CV with concerts in Japan and Haiti, at jazz festivals in Vienna and Chicago, and has performed at Carnegie Hall.

It is not only her fiery bass playing and charismatic performances that are making people take notice, but also her innovative writing style with influences all the way from Mingus to Bjork. Brandi’s sophomore recording, the luminous and intoxicating Second Side, features guests Holly Cole and Ranee Lee. The stunning new work uses lively, swinging grooves combined with touches of lush atmospheres with influences ranging from cool jazz to Brazilian pop.
