Noah Franche-Nolan - Rose-Anna (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

One could easily characterize Vancouver-based keyboardist and composer Noah Franche-Nolan as a restless artist. Fortunately, both for him and for audiences, his deep penchant for roving exploration is matched by his keen-eared versatility.

Earlier this year, he was heard alongside kindred spirit, guitarist Dan Pitt, in Arid Landscapes, a duo whose eponymous debut record elegantly folded textural electronics into the phraseology of ethereal, experimental jazz. On Rose-Anna, due out November 7th, 2025 from Cellar Music, Franche-Nolan sets aside these otherworldly sonics to lead the Noah Franche-Nolan trio, where he focuses on piano and is flanked by acclaimed players Jodi Proznick (bass) and Nicholas Bracewell (drums). Even with this familiar framing and slim instrumentation, Franche-Nolan’s manages to traverse a considerable swath of musical terrain. Spanning agile, groove-laden tracks to forlorn miniatures, secular hymns to freeform forays, it’s as though he’s intent to provide an aerial picture of the contemporary jazz’s full topography.
