Pianist Sharon Minemoto’s Quartet is made up of some of Western Canada’s finest musicians. Her memorable compositions are influenced by a wide range of composers such as Herbie Hancock, Kenny Wheeler, Stevie Wonder and Alexander Scriabin. Much of the music on their recent release, “Safe Travels” is written in memory of Minemoto’s long-time partner, jazz pianist/saxophonist Ross Taggart who lost his battle with renal cancer in 2013. Raul da Gama of The Whole Note Magazine describes Minemoto as “imaginative and lyrical as a composer, with pianistic technique in spades… (The album) will also draw accolades for its gorgeous, cinematic quality.”

With Jon Bentley saxophones, Adam Thomas bass and Bernie Arai drums.
