ReWiredis the new acoustic trio project from acclaimed composer, arranger and pianist, Janette Mason.

Janette Mason has a storied career playing for multiple artists across the worlds of jazz and pop. As a session player she’s toured with some of the biggest pop names in the business including Oasis and Pulp, and as a band leader she’s released a series of acclaimed jazz albums featuring some of the UK’s most respected players.

For her latest project, ReWired, she’s selected a basket full of all the tunes that mean the most to her, from timeless standards to modern chart classics and reworked each of them. No-one is off limits and the repertoire draws from everyone from Gary Numan and David Bowie to Kate Bush and Olivia Rodrigo, with Janette’s fierce and inventive arrangements pulling everything together.

Line up:

Janette Mason – piano

Jakub Cywiński – acoustic bass

Eric Ford – drums

“The ReWired project is a true coming-together of kindred spirits, musically and in heart, mind and soul. The extraordinary rapport between the musicians was at its most palpable during Lane Del Ray’s ‘Video Games’…sublime bass lines fused with percussion to add rich tonal colouring to Janette’s dream-like inventions at the keyboard. Perfect!” -Trevor Bannister

"Beautifully produced and thoughtfully put together.... long may she continue to put out music of this quality and variety"-Victoria Kingham

“A band leader of pugnacious flair and genuine unpredictability” - James Griffiths, The Guardian
