Beyond by Jennifer DeFrayne

"Sisu" is Jennifer's second multi-award winning album. It won "Best Piano Album with Instrumentation" at the ZMR's 2017 & 2nd place "Best Piano with Instrumentation" at OWMR Awards, with several nominations with these and other awards... Sisu embraces the spirit of this Finnish term, exploring its many characteristics as it takes you on a beautiful sonic excursion. Sisu means; determination, grit, inner strength, perseverance, going beyond what you thought was possible and turning adversities into success! Sisu includes a stellar line-up of musicians. Sisu is dedicated to Jennifer's Finnish heritage and has already received praise from noted Zone Music Reporter Bill Binkelman who stated “Jennifer DeFrayne’s Sisu is not just better than her debut (By a Wire), which is already high praise, but it is a work of such emotional depth, technical artistry, and self-assuredness, that I am left wondering 'Where has this remarkable woman been all this time?' Sisu is a deeply personal musical voyage that you will want to take many times, exploring the nooks and crannies in each track."
