From This Place

Deanna Witkowski has combined The Spirituality of the Soul and Heart with The Spirituality of Jazz. These performances are, above all, prayerful. They are also properly liturgical and and should be sung and played in churches.  Ms. Witkowski continues the work of Mary Lou Williams who was the first major Jazz Artist to compose for liturgical purposes.  This music is 'healing to the Soul'.

-Rev. Peter F. O'Brien, S.J.
Executive Director of The Mary Lou Williams Foundation

with Donny McCaslin, John Patitucci, Scott Latzky, Laila Biali, Peter Eldridge, Kate McGarry

Length of Days

Witkowski's sheer musicality is abundantly evident, from a well-developed sense of line and harmony in composition, to the airily individual takes on standards like "Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo," "In the Still of the Night" and "I'm Beginning to See the Light."
-Ray Comiskey, Irish Times
