Welcome to the official website of pianist and composer Deanna Witkowski.
I’m back home in New York City after a couple of whirlwind weeks in Pittsburgh, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Philadelphia. A few photo highlights:
On June 22, photographer Urban Landreman took this shot of me performing with Nnenna Freelon, Chris Berger and Jerome Jennings at the Twin Cities Jazz Festival. Urban said that I was exuding joy and he wanted to capture the moment.
From that same set, bassist Chris Berger took this candid shot during a solo piano intro.
And here’s a shot of the full band from the audience.
Hear Deanna perform and talk about Mary Lou Williams in these two recent interviews at Pittsburgh's WQED-FM.
Deanna’s latest trio recording and companion sheet music features 14 jazz arrangements of traditional hymn tunes.
