Brandi Disterheft

Bassist, singer, composer, Brandi Disterheft, has been under the apprenticeship of Miles Davis’ bassist, Ron Carter, since she relocated to NYC from Vancouver.  It’s not only her fiery bass playing that make audiences stand-up and holler, but also her innovative live shows as she sings in both English and French showcasing her ambient and dreamy voice.  Winning a JUNO for her Debut album, Brandi had the honor of recording with the legendary Hank Jones & Oliver Jones on the album Pleased to Meet You and has since performed at some of the world’s most prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall and the Vienna Opera House.   Along with her regular residency at NYC jazz venue Fine and Rare – 2017 also saw Brandi performing at the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, the Vail Jazz Festival in Colorado, as well as engagements in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and China.
