The 1st Movement of Song Cycle on Poems by Emily Dickinson – Composed by Jenny Game
“Game’s tenor sax has a breathy silkiness, her soprano a rich sensuality …. the release (Seven Seas) could earn the Gamesters some well-deserved recognition in the Melbourne jazz scene."
Jenny’s artistic vision is to celebrate the power of music to transcend stylistic borders and bring people together. Her compositions draw on diverse musical elements and combine them in new and innovative ways, creating a sound that is accessible, and yet entirely new.
Her compositions are highly detailed, and often incorporate elements of improvisation that gives the musicians the freedom to explore the music in personal and unexpected ways, creating an experience that is both exciting and emotionally engaging. Influences include contemporary jazz, and classical music and Middle Eastern/Arab musical elements.
“Frankly, Dispersion blew me away. Add to that live, globetrotting music from Dr Jenny Game, who also composed the score, and you get an immersive experience that suggests worlds within worlds.”
