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. For the past two years, the group has been working on The Ancestors’ Project, a two-album project that includes the instrumental album, Roots (Rhea Records, April 2025), the upcoming vocal album, Wings (Rhea Records, spring 2026), along with two performance videos and a mini- documentary.

The group has toured extensively across Canada, including a cross-country festival circuit in 2023, and is planning a European tour for 2027.
