Luck seems to have been following her around – though being adaptable helps. While her fellow music students at the New Zealand School of Music last year were hamstrung from collaborating in ensemble work due to Covid-19 restrictions, Williamson was able to continue completing a Masters in Jazz Composition from her Brooklyn flat. Having finished her Bachelor of Music (Hons) in Jazz Performance in 2018 she could commiserate with the cohort that had to Zoom it in. “Obviously jazz is a performance degree and a lot of it is about combo, playing with other people.” Williamson handed over her thesis just as venues were looking to welcome musos and audiences back.
