Claire Parsons’ first album ‘In Geometry’ is the result of Claire’s search for her own musical identity, inspired by composition techniques that study geometrical forms and their impact on the theoretical and practical world of music. Together with the Israeli guitarist Eran Har Even, the French/Luxembourgish drummer and pianist Jérôme Klein, the Luxembourgish bass player Pol Belardi, drummer Niels Engel and sound technician Charles Stoltz, the music brings a vigorous contribution to the constantly developing modern European jazz sound.

The album reveals their broad influences that go from jazz, folk, electro, pop, rock to classical music and thus creates a very intimate and exciting atmosphere with the intention of creating harmony and balance within the existing environment.

The young Austrian illustrator and painter Astrid Rothaug created the visual concept of the album and has drawn by hand the original video for the first single of the album ‘No Shape'. The objects represented by the illustrations will find their place among the musicians on stage during the performances and will allow an exciting interaction between audio and visuals. After collaborating with the musicians Nicole Miller and Annemie Osborne on strings and vocals at the Luxembourg Philharmonie in 2021, the project introduces the new colours into their live set that allows a unique experience of high quality to the public.

The album was launched in Mai 2020 by the label Double Moon Records (Challenge Records) together with the popular German jazz magazine “Jazz thing” in their series ‘Next Generation Vol. 83’.

All compositions & lyrics by Claire Parsons

CLAIRE PARSONS’ NEW CD IS A VIEW OF WHAT IS HERE AND NOW AND WHAT IS TO COME IN MUSIC AND EVEN IN SOCIETY. ITS CONSTRUCTION IS A POLITICAL STATEMENT IN ITSELF AT A HEALTHY CROSSROADS OF JAZZ, FOLK AND POP/ROCK. SHE’S BEEN EXPLORING AND REFINING HER PATH FOR YEARS NOW AND IS DELIVERING LITTLE GEMS THAT ARE CLEAR AS WATER IN BOTH COMPOSITION AND LYRICS SERVED BY AN AMAZING BAND OF OUTSTANDING MUSICIANS. I LOVE IT.
