Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz Interview Series featuring pianist Christophe Magnan-Bossé and vocalist Roxane Reddy of the acclaimed Montreal-based Greenhouse Ensemble.
In this episode, we dive into the making of the ensemble's captivating 2026 album, Mezzanine—a bold and immersive recording that pushes the boundaries of contemporary jazz through rich orchestration, collective composition, and genre-defying creativity.
Greenhouse Ensemble has developed a distinctive sound by blending voice, piano, violin, trumpet, and a dynamic rhythm section into a musical landscape that is both intimate and cinematic. Their music bridges contemporary jazz, classical music, folk traditions, bluegrass, and improvised music, creating an organic listening experience filled with harmonic depth and ethereal textures.
With Mezzanine, the group builds upon the musical world introduced on their previous release, unveiling years of collaborative composition and sonic exploration. The album reflects the ensemble's shared vision, where every member contributes unique influences that shape a vibrant and evolving collective voice.
If you're a fan of adventurous jazz, chamber ensembles, and music that defies easy categorization, this conversation offers an inside look at one of Canada's most creative contemporary groups.
