Listen to instrumental piano music from Jennifer DeFrayne with her debut album By a Wire, which was produced by renowned Australian pianist Fiona Joy and Grammy-winning Windham Hill founder Will Ackerman at his Imaginary Road Studios in Vermont. Her piano is complemented by Charlie Bisharat (violin), Jeff Oster (flugelhorn), Jill Haley (English horn), and Eugene Friesen (cello).
This album is especially amazing considering that she had a debilitating stroke only four years earlier. She won the ZMR 2014 Best New Artist award. There is also a lovely review by Kathy Parsons at MainlyPiano.com, as well as one by Michael Diamond on Music and Media Focus. She is working on a new album to be released early next year.

Beautiful music, just downloaded! Amazing she recovered from the stroke–the music probably helped her!
She had to relearn how to play piano again, but her experiences and losses gave her inspiration for her music.
Thank you so very much Doug for sharing all of this on my music!! Sorry I haven’t responded sooner, but I noticed this and wanted to say thank you! I hope my music has inspired others to continue and work through struggles… I have my next album coming out in March of this year! It is a continuation of the perseverance I used to make the first one! Happy New Year! 🙂
