Product details

In April 2022, at the age of 38, composer Jenna Cave's life was completely turned on its head. She became a solo parent to her three-year-old daughter and was thrown into the depths of grief and trauma when her husband died from suicide.

Commissioned by ABC Jazz, Grief, Hope, Love is a suite of six songs composed by Cave in the twelve months after his death. With themes of hope and resilience in the face of loss and despair, these songs became an outlet for her to articulate, process and express her raw emotional states during the early stages of grief, including her sheer gratitude for the love and joy that still existed alongside her pain.

'I hope this music may allow listeners suffering from grief and loss, particularly in the context of suicide, to feel heard and held,' says Cave, 'and that it will increase grief literacy in the community.'

Featuring Kristin Berardi vocals, Yutaro Okuda electric guitar, Tom Avgenicos trumpet, Loretta Palmeiro clarinet/sax, Hannah James bass, Chloe Kim drums.
