Janette Mason

Janette Mason is a British jazz pianist, arranger, composer and record producer. Her three albums have each received four-starred reviews in The Guardian[1][2][3] and her second album, Alien Left Hand, was nominated for the Parliamentary Jazz Awards in 2010.[4][5] The film scores she has written include the British dramas Ruby Blue (2008) and The Calling (2009).

Mason grew up in a musical household: her mother, who performed in the Gracie Cole Big Band, played jazz organ and vibraphone.[6]

gollark: Great!
gollark: Is anyone available as a catcher in about two hours?
gollark: Here's version 1.8 of the DragonCave Egg Time Finder Firefox addon. Changes: it starts minimized by default because I realized the UI was actually pretty big, and I got rid of some debugging code which snuck into the build by accident. I'm pretty sure all the actual logic should work the same, but do mention it if there are any issues.EDIT: Please note that if you have queries or need support you should probably ping me; I'm not very active here so I won't see random references to problems and such but will be able to respond directly quite fast.
gollark: Oh, is that the "fix" to the, er, fogball issue?
gollark: Well, it might fall under that bit, but that seems to basically just be a bludgeon against stuff TJ09 disagrees with.
