Album Notes

...great singing, beautiful lyrics, an amazing and charming setting of each song...cohesive ensemble groove, unique sounds, creative and original compositions, and fine individual playing...
- Rob Frayne, musician/composer

For jazz lovers, The Megan Jerome Trio is a breath of fresh air. The simple and funky rhythms complement Jerome’s sunshiny voice perfectly.
- Lousie Daniels, Ottawa Sun

Singer/pianist Megan Jerome offers her beguiling homemade songs, assisted by drummer Mike Essoudry and Petr Cancura on saxophone, accordion, clarinet and mandolin. These three close friends make intimate, quirky and fearlessly beautiful miniatures.
- Peter Hum, The Ottawa Citizen

...a nice new direction...for jazz.
Megan Jerome...together with a couple really seasoned, but still young, members of the local jazz scene, Mike Essoudry and Petr Cancura. [Petr] in the last year or two has just lit himself on fire. A really good record to check out, the Megan Jerome Trio, and CD's called Unlonely, which is a nice title.
- Bill Stunt, Ontario Regional Music Producer, CBC radio

Who knew crooning could be this much fun?
Jerome doesn't get all caught up in snooty jazz, nor fall back on tired standards, but concocts a cabaret of originals as folky as it is jazzy. Think Victoria Williams without the croak. The trio has a subtle, clear and bouncy delivery, giving the spotlight to a voice that richly deserves it.
- John Sekerka, Ottawa X-press

The Megan Jerome trio deserves a wide audience.
Composed of three of the most accomplished musicians in Ottawa...the group emphasizes original compositions by Jerome and Cancura and the songs by Jerome are in the art song tradition, melodic, yet with edge and humor".
- Charles Gordon (Columnist at The Ottawa Citizen)

...a dandy little trio.
[Unlonely] eschews easy classification...it bubbles over with interesting melodies and accents, humour to leaven the reflective pieces, and Jerome's intriguing, occasionally saucy, voice.
- Patrick Langston, The Ottawa Citizen

The Megan Jerome Trio in performance in an enchantment not to be missed.
- Jennifer Giles, Professor of Music, Carleton University
