Info for On My Mind

For her sixth album, trumpeter Lucienne Renaudin Vary blurs the lines between classical music and jazz. Highlighting a long history of shared influences—from Charlie Parker quoting Bizet to Ravel incorporating jazz rhythms—the album embraces a single, unifying idea: it's all music. At the heart of the project is Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s virtuoso Trumpet Concerto, recorded with the Orchestre National de France under Cristian Măcelaru. The jazz side pairs a quartet of exceptional musicians with the Hanson Quartet, all brought together by pianist Tim Allhoff’s bespoke arrangements. This album also highlights well-known pieces such as Amazing Grace, Grieg’s Morning Mood, Georgia on My Mind, and Tea for Two.

Zimmermann, an avid jazz fan, composed his concerto in 1955—a time when legends such as Tommy Wolf, Louis Yule Brown, and Dizzy Gillespie—the latter revered even by Miles Davis as a "god of the trumpet"—were keeping the international jazz scene vibrant and alive. Their music has also found a place on this extraordinary album by Lucienne Renaudin Vary. The trumpeter from northwestern France explains: "With this album, I wanted to explore the deep connections between classical music and jazz—two worlds that are part of my identity and that I grew up with." Assisting her in building this bridge, alongside a top-tier French orchestra, are two fantastic quartets: a jazz quartet featuring Thomas Bramerie, Franck Agulhon, Hugo Lippi, and Vincent Bourgeyx, as well as the Paris-based Hanson Quartet. Also joining the project is Munich-based pianist and arranger Tim Allhoff, another artist who traverses the worlds of both classical music and jazz.

Zimmermann’s trumpet concerto "Nobody Knows the Trouble I See," Grieg’s "Morning Mood" (arranged for jazz ensemble), Gillespie’s "Tour de Force," Carmichael’s "Georgia on My Mind," the traditional "Amazing Grace," and more.
