Minneapolis-based jazz pianist and composer, Mary Louise Knutson, has been called "one of the most exciting and innovative artists to happen to jazz piano in quite some time." Her debut jazz trio CD, Call Me When You Get There, charted in the Top 50 in the United States and Canada for eight consecutive weeks and earned Knutson the award for Top New Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year from KWJL Radio, California, in 2001. In 2005, she was selected as one of five finalists in the Kennedy Center’s Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Pianist Competition. And last year, Knutson received Minnesota Music Award nominations for both Jazz Artist of the Year and Pianist of the Year.
