Her shapeshifting is so astonishingly dramatic that there is no upper limit to her creative identity. ” — SIMON RENTNER, WGBO Eckroth can lead with a bold vision or accompany with the subtle skills necessary to make another musician shine. Her combination of jazz experimentation and pop feeling form the engine behind her own work as a leader or co-leader on 20 albums, most recently the Grammy nominated “The Garden” on Rainy Days Records (2021). She can hold an audience's attention in an intimate jazz club or on a massive concert stage. She did the latter when she opened for Rufus Wainwright's “All These Poses” anniversary tour, standing on stage alone with just her keyboards and her voice, weaving a sonic landscape that kept audiences enthralled. Grammy Nominated Pianist Rachel Eckroth, Bassist Tim Lefebvre and Drummer Gary Novak come together to perform the highly influential and enigmatic jazz album "Money Jungle." Released in 1963, this trio of Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Max Roach created an album out of a notably tense recording session with the United Artists label. The album was reviewed positively at the time of its release and subsequent reviews have remained highly favorable. Negative comments have concentrated on differences in playing style among the three musicians, brought about by the generational gap between Ellington and the others, and an argument that led to Mingus leaving the studio mid-session. Countless musicians have been influenced by the recording, in particular by the freedom of individual expression within a small-group setting. Rachel Eckroth
