At only 24, Amanda is emerging as one of Canada's top new talents. Tosoff's groups have been featured on CBC Radio programs "Hot Air" and "JazzBeat" and her debut recording "Still Life" has garnered critical acclaim. Tosoff's Quartet was awarded the CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award, for best emerging artist in the 2007 Vancouver International Jazz Festival.

Her trio featuring bassist Sean Cronin and drummer Morgan Childs has held a wednesday night residency at the Libra Room for over a year and will be adding a weekly special guest to their swinging trio. The rotating roster of guests will include world renowned international guests as well as home grown talent.

"This group exemplifies so many of the great and positive things that young jazz musicians have going for them; compositional talent, instrumental talent, and devotion to the music and one another."
Katie Malloch (CBC Radio's "Jazz Beat")

"An assured, forward-thinking voice on the city's mainstream scene."
