Life

Jane Bunnett; 2007

Bunnett first learned classical piano and then switched to the Böhm flute due to tendinitis , to which the soprano saxophone was added, on which she perfected herself with Steve Lacy . Together with her husband, the trumpeter Larry Cramer , she lived in Paris for a few years, where she also performed with Claudine François . In 1989 she recorded a successful duo record with Don Pullen . Cramer, Pullen, Jeanne Lee and Sheila Jordan are involved in their album The Water is Wide .

She was increasingly concerned with the music of Cuba , initially due to her vacations on the island. On the record Spirits of Havana (1991) in particular , she deals intensively and credibly with different Afro-American traditions and their current representatives.

Her productions have been nominated for Grammy and Juno Awards on a regular basis since 2001 . Bunnett was awarded the Order of Canada in 2004. In 2006 she received an honorary doctorate from Queen's University (Kingston) .

In 2004 she won the Rising Star category in the Down Beat Critics' Poll for flute.
