Janette Mason is a British jazz pianist, arranger, composer and record producer. Her three albums have each received four-starred reviews in The Guardian[1][2][3] and her second album, Alien Left Hand, was nominated for the Parliamentary Jazz Awards in 2010.[4][5] The film scores she has written include the British dramas Ruby Blue (2008) and The Calling (2009).

Mason grew up in a musical household: her mother, who performed in the Gracie Cole Big Band, played jazz organ and vibraphone.[6]
