LYNNE ARRIALE “Give Us These Days”

Lynne Arriale released her 14th album as a leader with her debut on Challenge Records. "Give Us These Days" was recorded in the Netherlands and features renowned Dutch musicians, bassist Jasper Somsen and drummer, Jasper van Hulten, with a cameo performance from special guest vocalist, Kate McGarry. Her current trio line-up features Jasper Somsen and drummer E.J. Strickland.

“Give Us These Days” is ambitious both in its conception and its unbridled sense of wonder. The six originals and three arrangements on this album lead, ever so gently, to the chambers of the heart, there to reflect upon the precious and ephemeral nature of existence. What emerges is the theme of this record, brilliantly illuminated by the title track.

Arriale’s playing throughout this record is powerful; informed by rigorous classical training, prodigious technique, and seemingly boundless creativity. Her music exhibits a purity, unfettered by ego, and is lifted by a palpable sense of spiritual equanimity.
She has been called "The poet laureate of her generation" by Jazz Police; and Arriale’s performances and recordings with her trio have been consistently praised as having a "singular voice" as a pianist, leader, composer, and arranger. 
The world's great jazz festivals and concert stages have invited Lynne to perform, including five performances at the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Montreux, Burghausen, Gilmore, Spoleto Arts, Montreal, Monterey, North Sea, Stuttgart, Pori, San Francisco, Ottawa, Zagreb, Perth, Brisbane, Rouen, Cannes MIDEM, Sardinia, Rochester, Wigan, Poznan, Estoril, Palermo, Inverness, Cork and San Javier.

Arriale’s 14 albums as a leader have topped the Jazzweek US Radio Charts. Her previous albums were included on numerous "Best Of" lists, including The New Yorker, United Press International, JAZZIZ and JazzTimes.
