Jennifer Madsen’s new album Reimagine is a wonderful recording, where familiar songs are not merely revisited but reborn with emotional depth and refined sensibility. Anchored by the quietly powerful partnership between Madsen’s voice and the keenly empathetic playing and inventive arrangements of pianist Brent Edstrom, the album’s sonic architecture unfolds with both intimacy and purpose. Rounding out the core ensemble, Clipper Anderson on bass and Mark Ivester on drums offer a subtly grounded foundation, while celebrated guests Sean Jones on flugelhorn and Howard Levy on harmonica add quiet but colorful flourishes. The production feels less like a collection of covers and more like a curated evening—a conversation in sound where elegance, presence, and restraint illuminate each phrase.
