by Troy Dostert
March 16, 2022

Pianist Tania Gill has been making inspired music in the ever-thriving Toronto jazz scene since the early 2000s, although her output has become especially visible since her debut release Bolger Station (Barnyard Records, 2010). An artist equally attentive to melody and songcraft, Gill refuses to be pigeonholed, contributing to a range of projects which defy easy ...

Toldam / Riedel / Berg / Wiklund / Christensen: Tak for dit brev

by Troy Dostert

Their Fortunes (Lorna Records, 2020) was an album defined by unusual gestures and subtle refractions, keeping the listener guessing throughout. Toldam's latest release, Tak for ...

Lina Allemano Four: Vegetables

by Troy Dostert
March 1, 2021

Trumpeter Lina Allemano is one of those artists whose boundless creativity requires numerous outlets for its adequate expression.
