Welcome to Hannah’s Corner — a weekly livestream series where crossover jazz/soul artist Hannah Baiardi performs music, hosts conversations with other musicians, and discusses the current state of contemporary jazz and ways to cope during COVID-19 pandemic.

Tonight, Hannah is joined by New York-based pianist, composer, arranger and educator, Caili O’Doherty. Caili is known for integrating structures of language in both her compositions and her approach to improvisation. Her recent music focuses on the celebration, preservation, and expansion upon the achievements of jazz’s unsung women heroes.

Tune in as Hannah and Caili perform piano pieces, and discuss all things jazz, as well as how they both find the motivation to keep writing during these hard times.
