Coffeehouse Jazz and Oldies

"The Lights Are Always On" is the title track of pianist and composer Lynne Arriale's powerful album available April 8, 2022 via Challenge Records International. The album features Arriale with bassist and co-producer Jasper Somsen and drummer E.J. Strickland

Arriale's 16th album as a leader features a suite of ten evocative original compositions recognizing healers, caregivers, and truth tellers. Several pieces are named in honor of heroes around the world, including people who served as caregivers on the front lines of the COVID pandemic and as defenders of democracy. Dr. Prakash Gada, a surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, whose assurance that "the lights are always on" for providing care during the pandemic, inspired the title.

Lynne Arriale
“One of the most exciting pianists in contemporary jazz” (The Guardian, UK), pianist Lynne Arriale has performed on international concert stages over the past 30 years. Jazz Police called her "the poet laureate of her generation". She has been consistently praised as having a "singular voice" as a pianist, bandleader and composer.

Arriale’s emotional authenticity allows her audience to feel and think along with her.” Lynne won the Great American Jazz Piano Competition.  Her 15 critically acclaimed  albums  have topped the Jazzweek Radio Charts and  have received  “Best of” honors in major publications. She toured Japan with “100 Golden Fingers” with Tommy Flanagan, Hank Jones, Monty Alexander, Cedar Walton, Kenny Barron, Harold Mabern, Roger Kellaway, Junior Mance and Ray Bryant.

My love
My love is a mountainside
So firm
So firm it can calm a tide
My love for you is a mountainside
It stands so firm it can calm a tide
That’s why my love
My love is a mountainside

My love
My love is an ocean roar
So strong 
So strong that I can’t let you go
My love for you is an ocean roar
It grows so strong that I can’t let you go
That’s why my love
My love is an ocean’s roar

My love is longer than forever
Endless as the laws of time
Til 99 years and for never
In my heart you’ll still be mine

Because my love
My love is a deep blue sea
So deep
So deep so deep that I’ll never be free
My love for you is a deep blue sea
it’s grown so strong that I’ll never be free
That’s why my love
My love is a deep blue sea
My love
My love
My love is a deep blue sea
My love
My love
My love is a mountain side
My love
My love
My love has grown so strong that I’ll never be free
