Rhythm Changes presciently noted that “this supergroup should be a major player at Canadian jazz festivals this year”, and indeed The Ostara Project—spearheaded by award-winning musicians Jodi Proznick bass and Amanda Tosoff piano—is gracing ten of the country’s finest Summer fests with their lyrical contemporary jazz.Showcasing the range and creativity of Canadian women in jazz, the group’s membership is fluid, calling on a Who’s-Who of top-tier musicians, composers, and bandleaders. What’s constant is the collective artistic heart that led to a 2023 Vocal Jazz Album of the Year JUNO nomination for their debut recording. In a genre and industry where women are severely underrepresented, the Ostara Project is a beautiful example of perseverance, community, and a deep love for the music. Like the Germanic goddess of spring the group is named for, Ostara is creativity rising out of darkness, reaching for light, propelled by hope.
Proznick and Tosoff are joined by Allison Au sax, Rachel Therrien trumpet, Valérie Lacombe drums, Laila Biali piano/voice and Shruti Ramani voice.
