Details:
Since moving to Bellingham, Washington, Ginny Snowe has been working on solo piano compositions, drawing on the wildly divergent influences of the likes of James Booker, Stefano Bollani, W. A. Mozart, Gabriel Faure, Bill Evans, Fats Waller. Her recent solo piano release, Traveling Home, is a showcase for some of these tunes. She plays with intelligence and heart, and with a touch of humor. Above all, she conveys a sense of intimacy and warmth in her writing and playing.


In recent years, Ginny has also been focusing on singing, pursuing, in particular, the Bossa Nova and Samba repertoire of such Brazilian greats as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Carlos Lyra, and Dori Caymmi. In her work with Zumbido, Ginny is able to combine her experience as a bass player with her current enthusiasms for the beauty of the Brazilian songs and the Portuguese language. Her duo work with John Miller has given her the opportunity to sing standards from the American songbook. Some of these and the Brazilian songs will be featured on their upcoming duo CD.
