    Kinda Out West<\/em> is an ode to the musicians of Aretha\u2019s native Alberta and the neighbouring province of British Columbia: artists whose work is fuelled by the prairies and grasslands; by the ocean and the mountains. The musicians who play on this album are, by birth or by choice, intrinsically linked to this landscape.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aretha\u2019s quartet follows in the tradition of the great chordless bands of saxophonists Sonny Rollins and Ornette Coleman in the 1950\u2019s and 1960\u2019s. The compositions on this album are as varied as Western Canada\u2019s breathtaking landscapes: the straight-ahead title track exhibits close ties to Rollins\u2019 classic 1957 album Way Out West<\/em>; Sad Junie<\/strong> brings to mind saxophonist Joe Henderson\u2019s masterful modal writing of the 1970\u2019s; and Aretha\u2019s modern compositions 35 <\/strong>and Jill of All <\/strong>are both inspired by the album\u2019s incredible horn frontline: Nanaimo, BC born sisters Ingrid and Christine Jensen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Thank you to my husband Jacob, friends and family, band members, Lisa and my management team and audience for this support.
    It has taken over 50 artists across all disciplines to create this album, and I am forever thankful.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
