Jordana Talsky
Time & Location
About the Event
Doors at 6pm
Concert at 8pm
Admission: $10
Of all the extraordinary things setting Jordana Talsky apart — the stylistic breadth of her music, her dexterity with originals and covers, the zigzagging career path that brought her to a musician’s life — it’s her voice that dazzles most. Exquisite, elastic, expressive beyond words but buoyed by them, Talsky’s singing is that rarest of things: utterly unique yet instantly accessible. It also explains why the highly in-demand Justin Abedin, who netted multiple Juno Awards with ace former band jackSOUL, stepped up to produce Neither of Either, adding guitar and drum programming. Abedin knew instinctively what the world will soon discover: Jordana Talsky is a towering talent, one far too versatile to fit neatly into a single categorical box. In 2015, Talsky was nominated as best vocal jazz artist by the Toronto Independent Music Awards. In 2014, she placed as a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (she also placed in 2018, jazz category, for “Spark” off of Neither of Either) and as a semi-finalist in the Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Jazz Competition.
