Rahel Talts - Power of Thought (February 2022)

Rahel Talts is a younger generation rising jazz pianist and composer from Estonia, based in Denmark.

In her music, she likes to mix jazz with elements from folk, pop and fusion, using sweet melodies, interesting rhythmic layers and switching between acoustic piano and electric keyboard sound.

Rahel plays in many different bands and projects over Europe, either as a leader or a sidewoman.

"Power of Thought" talks about the opportunities and possibilities that our thoughts give us in life, and how much do different kinds of mindsets and thinking affect us.

Rahel Talts Ensemble consists of 14 musicians from 5 different countries. The music is well thought-through and thoroughly composed and arranged, but there is also a lot of room for improvisation. This is my first album and I have put every piece of energy, love and appreciation into making the music, I hope You will enjoy it!
