Jodi Proznick Quartet

Vancouver bassist/composer Jodi Proznick is a Canadian jazz star on the rise. Although she plays regularly in a number of groups, the totality of her gifts come to light as a leader. In 2008, the National Jazz Awards named Proznick Bassist of the Year, the quartet as Acoustic Group of the Year, and their CD Foundations (Cellar Live) as Album of the Year. The CD was also nominated for a Juno. Proznick’s quartet is fresh, intense, and highly interactive, featuring some of the finest musicians in the country—Tilden Webb piano, Steve Kaldestad tenor sax, and Jesse Cahill drums. Their repertoire includes originals by all band members and new interpretations of compositions by the likes of Dave Holland, Charles Mingus, and Joni Mitchell.
