She's performed and recorded with many diverse world-class artists, including Deep Dark United, Charles Spearin's The Happiness Project, Andrew Downing, The Flying Bulgars, Mary Margaret O'Hara and Anthony Braxton. Her long-awaited 2010 debut recording, Bolger Station (Barnyard Records) was disc of the week and short-listed for disc of the year by The Globe and Mail, and was nominated for debut album of the year in The Village Voice jazz critics' poll. Her Quartet includes top-flight collaborators, Jean Martin (drums), Clinton Ryder (bass) and Lina Allemano (trumpet). The music features free-spirited improvisation and compositions that are by turns playful, fiery and serene. The Tania Gill Quartet is a consummate contemporary jazz group that plays with intelligence, passion and grace.
