Charlie Pyne Quartet: Nature Is A Mother

Nature Is A Mother is the second full-length album by songwriter, bassist, and vocalist Charlie Pyne.

The new album is a collection of original compositions that chart a contemplative course through magnetic contemporary jazz, featuring powerful vocals with bold lyrics, taking in elements of both Latin American and classical influence with folk undertones.

Pyne describes her new recording as: “an exploration of my life so far, as a woman, a mother and someone working in the creative industry. I hope to tell stories that everyone can relate to from a modern female viewpoint. I really feel like I’ve found my voice with this album, and I can’t wait to share the music!”

Line-up:
Vocals and Double Bass: Charlie Pyne
Saxophones: Luke Pinkstone
Piano: Liam Dunachie
Drums: Katie Patterson

“Her playing and singing is instantly engaging and full of personality” – Barry Witherden, Jazz Journal

“This is music that stands alone on its own merits and commands attention through the sheer musicality of Pyne’s fine writing and the interpretation of the quartet as a collective voice.” – Nick Lea, Jazz Views
