New album ‘Desert Cry’ out now!
Georgie Aué (pronounced a-way) is a genre-blending Australian pianist, vocalist, and songwriter. Her unique sound is a melting pot of styles – fusing jazz and blues with Brazilian jazz.
The endless days of summer in Western Australia, the ups and downs of love in all forms of relationships, and a passion for the natural environment were all inspiration for her third album ‘Desert Cry’. Written and recorded in Perth and her hometown of Adelaide, it’s a record rich in rhythm, texture, and harmony – a joyful world to get lost in.
Drawing on the influences of Antônio Carlos Jobim, Elis Regina, Diana Krall, Stevie Wonder and Norah Jones, expect Latin American rhythms, sweet jazz harmonies, and a whole lotta groove.
It’s been four years between albums and Georgie has been steadily writing, experimenting with different textures, and collaborating with arrangers. Allowing her compositions the time to mature, she headed into the studio to record last January – during a Perth heatwave – bringing in a selection of Perth’s premier jazz musicians including Jeremy Thomson (guitar), Zac Grafton (bass) and Daniel Susnjar (drums), as well as a horn section made up of Jessica Carlton (trumpet/flugel), Tom Greble (saxophones) and Will Pethick (trombone).
