The Ostara Project, led by award-winning bassist Jodi Proznick, showcases the strength and creativity of Canadian women in jazz. Ostara artists are top-tier musicians, composers and bandleaders who reflect the geographical, cultural and creative diversity of Canada’s musical landscape. Guest vocalists are invited to join the instrumental group on a per-project basis.  

The Ostara Project’s self-titled debut album was nominated for a JUNO award in 2023. From 2023-2026, the group has been working on The Ancestors’ Project, a two-album project that includes the instrumental album, “Roots” (Rhea Records, April 2025), the vocal album,“Wings” (Rhea Records, spring 2026). The group has toured extensively across Canada, including a cross country festival circuit in 2023 and combines performance with education and empowerment through its “Sisters in Jazz” workshops.
