A chronicle of love, loss, discovery, and relentless creativity…
Fiona Ross has never been one to follow convention, and her upcoming album, Moments in My Notebook, arriving May 30th, 2025, is a testament to her boundless creativity and storytelling prowess. Ahead of the release, the singles “Let Your Soul Shine” and “I Don’t Want Money” are out now.
Moments in My Notebook is a chronicle of love, loss, discovery, and relentless creativity, marking her 100th original song release. Across 21 tracks of jazz-fueled storytelling, the award-winning vocalist, pianist, composer and producer delivers an expansive, deeply personal collection that spans the intimate hush of a late-night ballad to the rhythmic pulse of Latin jazz, with moments of raw, stripped-down vulnerability woven throughout.
Recorded with a lineup of musicians, Moments in My Notebook features Gibbi Bettini (guitar), Derek Daley (bass), Marley Drummond (drums), Loren Hignell (saxophones, clarinet, flutes), Simon Todd (Percussion) and Dave Boa (trumpets), with guest appearances by Laura Impallomeni (trombone) Charlotte Keeffe (trumpet), Hannah Horton (saxophone), Diana Torti (vocals), and Migdalia van Der Hoven (drums). The album was engineered, mixed, and mastered across multiple studios, a labor of love that captures both the exhilaration of live jazz and the precision of a carefully honed composition.
With her 100th song milestone in mind, Ross closes the album with the poignant “100 Songs,” an introspective reflection on legacy and loss. “What would my parents say if they were here?” she wonders. “Would they be proud? Would they understand what I’ve built?” The song lingers, leaving the listener with a sense of unresolved contemplation—exactly what great art is supposed to do.
To celebrate the album’s release, Fiona Ross will embark on a UK and European tour, bringing these songs to life on stage. The official album launch will take place on June 4th at London’s newest, record-breaking jazz venue Soul Mama, where fans can experience the magic firsthand.
