Collective Order Vol. 2 (2017)



"[Volume Two] In which we find ourselves in the midst of the first, all original, mental telepathy jazz date and we find the bar is set pretty high. An outgrowth of most of the Toronto jazz scene gathering in a basement and jamming, their first set went so well they decided to try even harder this time around. Taking solid, non-showy-for-the-sake-of-showy improv to places it’s never been, there’s something here for everyone but oddly enough, it’s solid enough that everyone will probably like everything. Yeah, it’s like that. If this isn’t a major collection of the stars of tomorrow getting it all down, then nothing is. Hot stuff."
 —Chris Spector, Midwest Record, Lake Zurich, IL, USA

"So hauntingly beautiful! Jocelyn Barth has the kind of voice that never fails to take you away, but always makes you want to come back for more. Her range is off the map and her poetic interpretations are nothing short of exquisite. She is one major talent!"
—Jeanne Beker, Canadian Journalist, Media Personality and Fashion Entrepreneur

"Collective Order Vol. 2 is a unique project that showcases some truly original songs, excellent musicianship and the voice of Jocelyn Barth alone makes this a must-have for any jazz fan."
—Jaymz Bee, ​JAZZ.FM91

"Jam sessions are all about shared moments and ideas; collaborative creativity. In times when concepts of community are screaming out for serious revisiting along comes a uniquely sensitive album project, Volume Two, from Collective Order. It is timely and very welcome."
—John Devenish, Host, Dinner Jazz, JazzFM91
