Groundwork by Louisa Williamson
Three years after the release of her APRA best jazz composition award-winning debut album, What Dreams May Come, Wellington, New Zealand-based composer, woodwind player, and session musician Louisa Williamson returns with her sophomore release, Groundwork.
Closer to a prelude than a second album, Groundwork collects seven pieces Williamson wrote and composed between 2016 and 2024 while she was finding her place within New Zealand’s contemporary jazz, soul, funk, and popular music communities.
