Brandi Disterheft leads an unnamed trio, with her bass, vocals and original material at the core. Her live shows feature songs in English and French, alongside her “ambient and dreamy voice.”
Canadian-born and raised in Vancouver, Disterheft is now based in New York. The Juno-winning bassist, vocalist and composer has worked with Hank Jones, Anita O’Day, Benny Green, Cyrus Chestnut, Vincent Herring and Renee Rosnes. Reviews of her Surfboard trio noted its “infectious groove” and “beautiful chemistry,” while Blue Canvas was called “a joyful work” of “seductive rhythms, colorful sounds and fiery improvisations.”
