EDMONTON JOURNAL : Canadian jazz supergroup The Ostara Project swings far above the ordinary
Ostara was a West Germanic goddess worshipped in pagan times who soared across the heavens spreading spring’s light across winter’s darkness. The Ostara Project is an all-star collective of top female Canadian jazz players whose music swings far above the ordinary. Audiences across Canada will get to hear the group at numerous summer festivals this year including the Edmonton International Jazz Festival this weekend.
WOMEN IN JAZZ MEDIA : Trumpeter Rachel Therrien leads on this effort, out now on the wonderful Outside in Music label out of New York, headed by trombonist Nick Finzer.
A wide array of superb musicians grace this album, performing a mixture of compositions by Dizzy, Trane, Therrien herself, and others. The Latin theme pervades, but I’ve always said that another word for « Latin Jazz » is jazz.
MUSICAL MEMOIRS’S BLOG : I always felt good playing Latin-influenced music
Rachel Therrien has honed her super talents on trumpet and Latin music for over a decade. Her passion led the Juno-nominated artist to Cuba, in search of research and the study of Latin music and trumpet applications.

LE DEVOIR : Lettre d’amour au jazz latin
La compositrice et trompettiste Rachel Therrien lance ce Mi Hogar (« Ma maison ») en forme de lettre d’amour au jazz latin, pour lequel elle se passionne depuis plus d’une dizaine d’années.

PAN 360 : Du grand art de synthèse avec pour cœur battant et vibrant le jazz latin!
Therrien rassemble un line-up (le Latin Jazz Project) digne des grands orchestres de Puente, Tjader, celui de sa compatriote Christine Jensen ou bien sûr l’orchestre d’Arturo O’Farrill, l’un des indispensables passeurs de cette tradition en ce début de 21e siècle, et dans lequel Rachel possède sa chaise attitrée.

Ce soir le festival Parfum de Jazz fait halte au pied de la jolie église romane du XIIième siècle de Saint Restitut, le mistral est de la partie et fraîchit l’atmosphère.

JAZZ’IN LYON: Rachel Therrien à Parfum de Jazz : dans le monde séduisant d’une trompettiste canadienne
La jeune femme aura repris la quasi intégralité de son dernier album, Vena, qui conjugue douceur, poésie, nourrie de multiples évocations de ce qui a construit la jeune femme. Autour d’elle, un quartet formant un carré parfait…
JAZZ WEEKLY: Rachel Therrien: Vena

This album has here leading a team of pianist Daniel Gasson, bassist Dario Guibert and drummer Mareike Wiening for twelve tunes ranging from quick ideas to full and drawn out concepts.”

ALL ABOUT THAT JAZZ: Roundup Time
“Canadian trumpeter Rachel Therrien leads a quartet here in a set of wide-ranging music. The tracks are short, most in the four to five minute range, and come off lyrical and evocative with Therrien’s warm brass tone featured up front. “Emilio” and “Parity” conjure images of serene beauty, “Pigalle” skips and gambols and “Assata” is a mix of cool Latin sounds and walking jazz grooves.”

L.A. JAZZ SCENE: Rachel Therrien, Vena (Bonsai Music)
“Rachel Therrien is an excellent modern jazz trumpeter from Canada. Her inside/outside playing and ability to jump into the upper register on a moment’s notice recall Kenny Wheeler at times but she mostly displays her own sound and style on Vena, her fifth recording as a leader. She has worked in her career so far with the DIVA Jazz Orchestra and such notables as Claudio Roditi, Paquito D’Rivera, Lee Konitz, Ken Peplowski, Michel Legrand, and Carol Welsman.”

ALL ABOUT JAZZ: Rachel Therrien: Vena
“You quickly hear the beauty of Therrien’s playing: there’s no need to nerdily testify which horn she’s playing on any given solo (even if you could spot the difference). Just gasp and when she’s done soaring or imploring, move on to the next tune. There’s something waiting for you there too, because her European Quartet of pianist Daniel Gassin, drummer Mareike Wiening and cameo saxophonist Irving Acao make it so.”

GOLDMINE: Filled with the sound of Rachel Therrien, Connie Han, Al Gold, a Popcorn Blues Party and more
“Rachel Therrien loves her flugelhorn. On the cover of her exquisite fifth album Vena (Bonsai Music), she’s clutching it in rhapsody. She also blows a hot trumpet with her quintet of pianist Daniel Gassin, bassist Dario Guibert, drummer Mareike Wiening and sax man Irving Aceo. An international kind of gal, born in Canada, living in New York City, she studied music in Cuba, and toured extensively in Europe and Ukraine. Her Euro band sparkles on her 15 post-bop originals. Highlights include “75 Pages Of Happiness” for her 75-year old father, “Migration” for her life on the road, “Parity” for her strong feelings about gender equality and “Bilka’s Story” for an unforgettable Ukrainian friend. Latin flourishes abound. This one’s a keeper.”

DOWNBEAT: New Albums From Rachel Therrien, Ian Carey Move From Swing To Solemnity
“Canada has produced a striking range of trumpet greats, from Maynard Ferguson to Kenny Wheeler. And in recent years we can add the singular Ingrid Jensen, free-jazz poet Lina Allemano, singer/trumpeter Bria Skonberg and avant-garde experimentalist Steph Richards to that list. Rachel Therrien might not have garnered as much attention as her fellow Canadians, but that could change if Vena (Bonsaï 200201; 50:21 ****) is any indication.”

DOWNBEAT – Editor’s Pick Album Review by Brian Zimmerman!
“For several years, Quebec-born, Brooklyn-based trumpeter Rachel Therrien has been among the most innovative artists operating at the intersection of jazz and world music. Her geographic reach is awe-inspiring, taking in sounds from New Orleans trad-jazz and Cuban folk to Colombian funk and American rock ’n’ roll and routing them through her own audacious trumpet aesthetic. Therrien … hones in on the jazzier elements of world music on her fourth album, Why Don’t You Try, offering 11 gripping originals that place groove and improvisation at the forefront. » ” – Brian Zimmerman – Downbeat Editor

Rachel Therrien on the Cover of December’s Hot House!
“Why Don’t You Try, Rachel Therrien Quintet (Free Run Artists/MCM), makes a convincing case for Rachel as one of the brightest and most creatively accomplished trumpeters on today’s jazz scene. Her clear, clarion tone and precise articulation, a sound rivaling many first trumpet chair holders in big bands, is matched by a cornucopian fecundity of improvisational strategies and ideas. That she and her bandmates are all Quebecois (French-Canadians) should not be surprising given the global scope of jazz today, but it is.” – George Kanzler – Hot House

Bandcamp Daily – Best Albums of September 2017!
“By opening with the old-school tune “Spectrum,” Rachel Therrien provides a peek at the jazz tradition through which she came up. By dedicating the rest of her new album WDYT to a wide range of modern expressionism, she’s pointing at the map to where she’s at today. But even the modern pieces don’t turn their backs on tradition. Instead, the trumpeter’s quintet infuses them with qualities that echo jazz of days gone by, resulting in an appealing sense of “something old and something new.” » ” – Dave Sumner – Bandcamp Daily

ALL ABOUT JAZZ – James Nadal Review of Pensamiento!
“her sense of melody and harmony layered upon a complex percussive foundation, portraying a musician of extraordinary caliber. It not only takes talent to accomplish a production like this, it also requires a lot of courage and confidence to pull it off. Rather than blending her jazz inclinations into provincial modes, she became immersed in the music, losing herself, becoming an intricate part of the experience. » ” – James Nadal – All About Jazz
