Bonnie J Jensen
Hailing from New Zealand, Bonnie’s elegant artistry can be heard on four well-lauded albums and reflects an international life. She has traveled extensively with her work, performing in Sweden, Singapore, Spain, Malaysia, Korea, Vietnam, NYC, Portugal, Hong Kong and repeatedly in Japan where her second album “Blue Joy” reached No. 8 in the Independent Jazz Charts. In 2012, the (Australian) Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) funded Bonnie and her Quartet to represent Australia at the “Giant Steppes of Jazz” festival in Mongolia and she has featured regularly in Australian Jazz Festivals.
Known for assembling stellar ensembles of uniquely juxtaposed musicians for both recordings and live performances, Bonnie’s CDs feature treasures of the Australian jazz scene including Graham Jesse, James Muller, James Morrison, Jonathan Zwartz, Alister Spence, Don Radar, Miroslav Bukovsky, Nicholas McBride and Phil Stack.
Possessing a nuanced and agile voice, she infuses her broad repertoire of classic and classy jazz standards, cleverly re-worked contemporary songs and poetic originals, with warmth and wit.
Bonnie’s musical and organisational prowess affords a variety of acts, meaning she can work in Duo format as a pianist/vocalist with Bass or with larger ensembles – Trio up to Sextet line-ups that showcase the top tier of regional talent.
