Following the success of her 2002 quintet album, Side A, acclaimed Canadian pianist and composer Sharon Minemoto delivers a wonderful new trio recording, You can see the ocean from here. With memorable compositions and sparkling new arrangements of classic standards, this collection of songs is set to be one of the highlights from west coast jazz releases this spring. Bassist Paul Rushka and drummer Paul Townsend make for a delightfully swinging pairing to which Minemoto's fingers can dance. Special guest appearance by multiple award winner, co-producer and recording engineer Brad Turner on flugelhorn.

Side A is a beautiful and swinging collection of eight originals captured live at the Cellar Jazz Club in Vancouver. There's plenty of talent contained within these selections, beginning with Sharon's wonderful piano solos and her ability to craft memorable songs... If a recording is like a snapshot, then the Sharon Minemoto Quintet has left us with a loving musical portrait. The leader has succeeded in showing the way and has allowed beautiful music to happen.
