The House
- Details
“The House” is Trudy Kerr’s 13th album on her Jazzizit Label. The album is a collaboration between Trudy and pianist Andrea Vicari. For the past few years they have been performing duo gigs around London and on hearing Andrea’s original compositions Trudy was inspired to begin writing lyrics to her beautiful tunes.
The album is a change of direction for Trudy. “Stylistically the tunes are more contemporary sounding and were challenging to sing as well as write suitable lyrics to, I thoroughly enjoyed the process and I hope our audience will enjoy the new songs.”

Read the review of Trudy's album The House.
So quiet has Kerr been about this release there has been little or no publicity, and only those in the know have been fortunate enough to grab a copy. Hopefully things are about to change as it would be a shame for this fine album to go unnoticed.
Trudy Kerr has long enjoyed a reputation as one of Australia's finest imports, with a sensitivity and a warm tone her singing of standards is sublime, but it is all too easy to forget that she is also a superb all round musician and lyricist having penned words to instrumental solos as well as supplying lyrics in writing partnerships with husband, Geoff Gascoyne and pianist Andrea Vicari.

Trudy's most recent project Take Five celebrates the songs and sounds of alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, focusing on repertoire Desmond performed with Dave Brubeck, as well as Paul’s work in other settings.
The west coast jazz sound is something Trudy has recorded and explored in the past with her critically acclaimed album Remembering Chet Baker.
