Emily Bear plays her piano with a finely nuanced touch, with both her comping left hand and a right hand that can cascade notes like sand pouring out of your hands. The song, her own, is a circular figure to which she discreetly adds graceful touches, such as lifting it up to a higher key and then bringing back down down again. And amidst the closely tracking standup bass and the hushed drums, she makes every note mean something.
Sounds pretty good, huh? What if I were to tell you that Emily is only 11 years old? That she first appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show at age 6 and had been back on five more times? Not impressed with Ellen’s musical tastes? Fine. What if I were to tell you that the song, and all the other songs on her upcoming release Diversity was produced by Quincy Jones? Yes, that Quincy Jones.
Born just twelve days before 9/11, Bear was playing the piano by the age of two, writing her own music at three and had her compositions published at age four. At age five she made her concert debut, playing classical, jazz and originals solo for forty minutes. At six, she performed at the White House. At seven came her orchestral debut, with a Mozart concerto. At age 8, she was performing in concerts overseas and the following year she played at Carnegie Hall, backed by a 100-piece orchestra, a 220 member choir and various soloists. Bear plays everything from memory, even classical concertos four dozen pages long.
“She’s the most delightful human being I’ve ever met in my life,” Quincy says. “And her music is the same way. I am at once astounded and inspired by the enormous talent that Emily embodies. With the ability to seamlessly move from Classical to Jazz and Be-bop, she shows as much musical prowess as pianists/composers twice her age, and I am thrilled to be working with her. She’s astounding, man ... she’s astounding. She plays like she’s 40 years old. She is the complete 360-degree package, and there are no limits to the musical heights she can reach.”
Diversity will be her sixth CD overall, but it’s her debut with Concord Records and Quincy Jones Productions, signifying a new phase in a music career that’s already accomplished so much and yet there’s a world of potential still up ahead. On Diversity, Emily shares several of her reflective mood compositions (among them “Blue Note,” “Alika,” “Jessie’s Song” and “Tutti Cuore”) and demonstrates her ability to get down with a Latin feeling in the rhythm section (the catchy “Hot Peppers” and self-explanatory “Salsa Americana”). There is a specific Spanish flavor in “Peralada”, inspired by the Catalan city where she first performed this piece at a music festival and utilizes her classical technique to a tee in “Reflections.” “Northern Lights” is the piece for which Emily won an ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Competition Award at the age of 6. And “Q,” of course, refers to the nickname of Emily’s producer, which after a heartfelt slow intro, turns into a jaunty jazz-trio tribute to the ever-youthful spirit of her mentor.
The CD title represents the diversity of Emily's style as well as the diversity of the cultures that are her musical influences. In turn, through her music, Emily has touched the souls of countless people worldwide and her natural joy and innate connection to the music, communicates emotion through every note.
