Kate Wyatt: Murmurations

10th October 2025

Celebrated Montréal-based jazz pianist and composer Kate Wyatt returns with her electrifying new album Murmurations, a shimmering testament to group empathy and musical dialogue. Joined by Montréal jazz heavyweights Adrian Vedady on bass and Louis-Vincent Hamel on drums, the Kate Wyatt Trio delivers a collection of original compositions by each member, weaving together sensitivity, spontaneity, and a nearly telepathic interplay.

The concept of Murmurations – inspired by nature’s spectacle of birds moving in unison – perfectly captures the essence of this album. Just as flocks of starlings shift and turn as one, the trio moves and breathes as a single organism: responsive, trusting, and deeply attuned to the moment.

Renowned for her creative imagination and finesse, Paul de Hueck and Norman Walford Career Achievement Award nominee Kate Wyatt has earned a reputation as one of Canada’s most compelling jazz voices. Her debut album Artifact received glowing reviews and was featured on a number of Best Jazz of 2022 lists internationally. On Murmurations, Wyatt’s dynamic compositions are joined by those of Vedady and Hamel, each bringing unique textures and perspectives to the trio’s collective sound. The album also features a fresh, surprising take on the Kurt Weill standard Mack the Knife, highlighting the group’s playful side and inventive spirit.

Murmurations will be released on October 10, 2025 on all major streaming platforms and in physical formats. The trio will be touring across Canada in support of the album, bringing their uniquely interactive and sensitive sound to audiences nationwide.
