Juno-nominated pianist, leader and composer NANCY WALKER is respected nationally. Winner of the Montréal International Jazz Festival’s prestigious Grand Prix de Jazz, and a JUNO and multiple National Jazz Awards nominee, Nancy is recognized as one of Canada’s premier jazz talents. She has already produced several critically acclaimed albums: Invitation (1997), Luminosity (2000), Levitation (2003) and When She Dreams (Justin Time, 2004). In 2006 she received a JUNO nomination for her easy-listening disc Rainy Days and Mondays (Somerset/Universal).

"She’s a commanding presence at the piano. Her solos are strong and personal, and she’s a wonderful accompanist."
~ Ted O’Reilly, Whole Note Magazine

The album "Need Another" is the fifth jazz recording from Nancy Walker and features nine tracks, seven of which are her own original compositions. It’s a modern piano trio disc that comes right out of her classic influences, yet is totally her own, shifting from funky to moody to swinging and back again. Nancy’s band-mates on the disc are bassist Kieran Overs and drummer Ethan Ardelli.
