The Button Jar

by Yvonne Rogers

The Button Jar cover art

Recorded in September 2025, the pianist's debut features a trio format that prioritizes melodic clarity and sophisticated harmonic exploration. The compositions are characterized by their light, fluid touch and the use of asymmetrical time signatures that feel organic and song-like. The title functions as a metaphor for a collection of small, varied memories and musical ideas brought together into a cohesive, intimate portrait.
