Additional information:
Jenna Cave’s life was completely turned on its head on the 15th of April 2022 when Rocco, her husband of 7 years, died from suicide. At the age of 38 Cave was suddenly a widow, a solo parent to her three year old daughter, and thrown into the depths of grief and trauma.
Commissioned by ABC Jazz, “Grief, Hope, Love” is a suite of 6 songs composed by Cave in the 12 months after his death. With themes of hope and resilience in the face of loss and despair, composing the songs gave Cave an outlet to articulate, process and express her raw emotional states during the early stages of grief, while also conveying her sheer gratitude for the love and joy that still existed alongside her pain.
The recording of the music will be released as an album by ABC jazz in late 2024.
