JoJo Zawawi is a self-taught improvisational classical and jazz pianist and composer. She composes all her own music, and at live concerts, rather than playing music already written, she improvises all new pieces -- sometimes based on made-up melodies solicited from the audience.
"Genius composer...." (Chick Corea)
"Improvisational genius...." (Los Angeles Valley News)
Some other reviews:
"Soaking me in music straight to the bones ... Defying convention and free from coercion, JoJo's music -- music that takes hold of your innermost and compels you to close your eyes and feel it, imagine it, savor it. It brought about a rush of inspiration. Genius...."
"I just sat down in my chair, put on your CD, and wow! It was just so beautiful. The music went into every fiber of my being. It was absolutely incredible."
"She's amazing. She just makes up music on the spot, and it's BEAUTIFUL. She's a genius!"
