2024

This freely improvised album, was recorded in one long act of prayer.

Honey-toned vocals usher us on a gentle ride into the unknown upon enticing currents of harmony & rhythm.

Inspired by the natural world, these meditations convey with gentle beauty the awe of Adams’ lived experience.

This collection of journeying songs welcomes the listener into the inner richness of their imaginal world.

Be prepared for a full-bodied immersion into a luscious sensory experience. This piece of art emerges as an invitation towards our potential: a portal into deep healing and transformation.
— Sarah Nakatsuka, Counsellor, Therapist & Celebrant

AS THE MORNING LIGHT

2018

 

Recorded in a live session with Canada’s leading jazz accompanists, Susannah Adams’ free & spontaneous style is encapsulated elegantly in her debut album.

Known for her hip phrasing & keen sense of improvisation, Adams sets a lively tone slipping seamlessly from daring scat solos to luscious bossa beats.

 
 
My dear, you have an incredible sound and depth. It just knocked me out.
