JODI PROZNICK

QUOTES
" ...she is one to watch. The disc’s tribute to Ray Brown is telling, as Proznick’s approach to the instrument incorporates Brown’s deliberate but tasty swing ... Proznick is developing a fine compositional voice, and I will be interested to see where this quartet goes from here."
Cadence

Proznick has traditional roots, which you can hear when the band plays the great Joni Mitchell song Help Me, and the bass solo closely follows the lines of the melody. Throughout the disc, her sound is warm and welcoming.
Vancouver Sun

“Jodi is one of the finest women bassists we've ever heard. In fact she produces some of the most robust sound from the upright of any player. She leads a quartet that coalesced during their days at Montreal's McGill University before branching out on their own. They reunited while in Vancouver and the results are wonderful. 4 out of 4 stars."
O's Place

"Jodi reminds me of the better players like Ray Drummond, Peter Washington and Rufus Reid. She is a wonderful bassist who really digs in and plays from the heart... when you hear Jodi you don't hear gender."
David Fathead Newman, Coda Magazine interview

"This album not only an awesome display of Jodi's abilities on the bass, but an awesome display of the other three musicians as well!"
Radio Adelaide, Australia

"Her enthusiasm for and joy in playing infuses her music with a spirit that's infectious and lifts it to another level."
