Besides having some great May gigs in New York, Deanna is looking forward to making her North Carolina solo debut in Asheville on June 9 at Isis Music Hall. While in NC, she'll also share in music leadership at the Kanuga Conference Center with singer/songwriter Ana Hernandez. Immediately following Kanuga, she'll be a featured presenter at the biannual International Thomas Merton Society meeting at Sacred Heart University in Connecticut.

The Chopin Project: pre-order here!

Deanna’s upcoming (spring 2013) solo piano recording features articulate, unusual jazz takes on eight Chopin pieces, four of which combine Chopin with Brazilian pieces (Manhã de Carnaval, Olha Maria, Insensatez) or rhythms (baião). Six short free improvisations are interspersed between the Chopin arrangements.

From This Place 

From This Place: order here!

Witkowski has combined the spirituality of the soul and heart with the spirituality of jazz...her music is 'healing to the soul.'  -Rev. Peter O'Brien, Mary Lou Williams Foundation


Length of DaysLength of Days: order here!

If, among contemporary pianists, Brad Mehldau and Bill Charlap represent the gold standard, then Deanna Witkowski deservedly ranks as their sterling sister. -Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes

 

Wide Open Window

Witkowski is not far from jazz stardom with her keyboard techniques, her imaginative composing and arranging, and her wordless vocalizing. Remember her name.
-Harvey Siders, JazzTimes



Having to Ask

Deanna's spirit- and her spirituality- come through on this consummate debut, and that spirit is astonishing.
-Don Glasgo, Jazz Improv
