The Jazz Session: Pianist Zoe Rahman On Motherhood Enriching Her Life As A Jazz Musician

This special episode is in honour of Mother's Day and features eight mothers who also happen to be jazz musicians, of varying nationalities and at the top of their creative games. Laila Biali (Canada), Sarah Elizabeth Charles (USA), Christine Jensen (Canada), Lina Nyberg (Sweden), Linda Oh (Australia), Tomoko Omura (Japan), Zoe Rahman (UK), and Sara Serpa (Portugal) joined me to discuss their music, their experiences as mothers in the jazz community, and more, in an informal, roundtable-style conversation.
Because Mother's Day occurs in the UK on 27 March 2022, I'm sharing an excerpt of our conversation where British jazz pianist, Zoe Rahman, talks about being a jazz musician and a mother, and how these two facets of her life co-exist to enrich her music and creativity.
Hear the full conversation when this episode airs on 11 May 2022.
Opening track: "The Calling" (Zoe Rahman)
