As We Are Now is an album by pianist Renee Rosnes which was recorded in 1997 and released on the Blue Note label.
[1][2][3][4] The AllMusic review by Leo Stanley stated "As We Are Now is another wonderful session from pianist Renee Rosnes, finding her navigating a challenging set of six original compositions and three covers ... As We Are Now finds the limits of hard bop and pushes it further, resulting in an adventurous, rewarding listen".
[5] In JazzTimes, Owen Cordle noted " Canadian pianist Rosnes occasionally recalls Lennie Tristano, although she plays in a less complex, more fluid manner.
In fact, energetic playing characterizes most of this date ... There’s considerable emotional involvement in these and the other performances, an investment you’ll probably dig along with the chops and freshness".
