New Album: Transparent from Monika Herzig
Coming Spring 2026
“Transparent becomes part of the limited but expanding cannon of jazz music that comments on LGBTQIA+ rights and experiences, placing Herzig in the company of contemporaries such as drummer Terri Lyne Carrington (who released Pray The Gay Away in 2019) and pianist Fred Hersch (who released an instrumental version of The Man I Love, way back in 1990).” -Tina Edwards
International jazz pianist Monika Herzig expands her extensive LP catalog with her new instrumental jazz album Transparent from Key of B Records, an audble family portrait about parenting against transphobia. Merging listenable instrumental melodies with exciting themes, Transparent is a portrait in modern jazz of yesterday and tomorrow. Highlighting Monika Herzig’s renowned original compositions as well as a reimagination of Elton John’s hit Your Song, Transparent is a sleek 11-track collection of carefully curated new modern classics.
