Bio
Pianist/ Composer Deborah Franciose is that rare combination of talent and determination, passion and lyricism, romance and intelligence that makes people stop and pay attention. Some of those people along the way have included John Williams, Lyle Mays, George Shearing, and Joe Williams, all fans and supporters...
"...A Massachusetts native, Franciose's music is definitely contemporary and could not be confused with mainstream jazz. But her style is refreshing and pure. It transcends musical genres, taking inspiration from classical, jazz, and occasionally even ethereal New Age music....Even an old chestnut like 'Eleanor Rigby' comes out sounding fresh, completely reinterpreted and with new life. At times Latin flavored and brisk, at times contemplative, Franciose's playing is forceful, but never forced...This is perfect Sunday morning music - easy to listen to, but not background music, with tunes that are distinctive and memorable..." - Taylor McNeil
"Deborah's beautiful sound, sensitive interpretation and innovative approach demonstrate a unique style." John Williams, Composer
