One of Canada’s most recognizable voices in jazz, TIA BRAZDA delves into the past with her new album WHEN I GET LOW. Out on Flatcar Records, with European and Canadian dates in support, the album finds Brazda rediscovering songs largely from the 1930s, in the Great American songbook. The album features love songs full of melancholy and longing, but is also ultimately uplifting; dreamy and nostalgic with a dash of grit. Brazda’s effortless vocals are supported by a cast of players from her live touring band that features Grammy and JUNO award winners. The entire album was recorded remotely, with all the players tracking their parts in home studios, ranging from Northern Ontario to New Orleans, due to the pandemic.

REVIEWS OF THE NEW ALBUM:

"A vivacious vocal and a sense of jazz-inflected elasticity in her delivery." (3/4 stars)
- Selwyn Harris, Jazzwise Magazine (UK)

"You won’t find another singer who vocalizes music – including this classic music – quite like Tia Brazda...she has a fully formed style that is wholly her own...gorgeously sullen, long-limbed narratives and floating and spinning lines to unfold with bewitching beauty."
- Raul de Gama, The WholeNote

"Brazda has well and truly made it as a contemporary singer of classic swing jazz. This is due perhaps in part to the clean, fresh, modern sound she imparts, while retaining the soul of these old styles. While many bands made admirable efforts at remote recording with credible results, this team has absolutely cracked the technique to produce a superb sounding record."
- Dave Doyle, The Syncopated Times

"Her intonation is endearing."
- Brian Payne, JazzJournal (UK)
