Jazz pianist/composer Amanda Tosoff and her quartet have been steadily gaining critical acclaim since the release of their debut album Still Life (Cellar Live 2006). They have opened for jazz legends Bobby Hutcherson, Renee Rosnes and Oliver Jones, and has performed with guests such as Ingrid Jensen, Brad Turner and Phil Dwyer. The group has recorded for CBC Radio programs Hot Air, Jazz Beat and Canada Live. Tosoff’s group has been the recipient of several awards, including the CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award for best emerging artist in 2007. In the summer of 2009, the quartet was chosen out of ten nominees as the winner of the General Motors Grand Prix de Jazz at the Montréal  Jazz Festival. They will be releasing their third CD this fall featuring guest trumpeter Ingrid Jensen.
