“Aimee-Jo Benoit’s approach to Jazz, particularly Joni Mitchell’s songbook, is heartfelt, whimsical, fresh and creative. She’s an artist whose beautiful humanity and sensitive approach to life cannot be separated from what she brings to the music, on recording and in performance.”
— Laila Biali, Juno-winning musician and host of CBC music's Saturday Night Jazz

Calgary vocalist Aimee-Jo Benoit has established herself as a sought after vocalist in the jazz community. In June 2020, Benoit released BORJONER, a collection of arrangements of all Canadian folk, pop and rock with Trio Velocity. This past March 29, she released her sophomore effort, Horns of Hope on Chronograph Records. The album’s 8 tracks are all Canadian, featuring compositions by Sarah Harmer, Joni Mitchell, Daniel Lanois, Leonard Cohen, Kathleen Edwards and K.D Lang, with arrangements by Calgary’s Carsten Rubeling. This is not an unusual course for the bandleaders, Benoit and Rubeling, whose previous Canadian explorations together in the Both Sides Now Ensemble is what sparked this new collaborative project.

The New Assembly members are: Carsten Rubeling on Trombone, Mark DeJong on Tenor Saxophone and Bass Clarinet, Andre Wickenheiser on Trumpet, Mark Limacher on Piano and Fender Rhodes, Dan Gaucher on Drums and Jon Wielebnowski on Bass. These musicians, educators and collaborators bring a wealth of experience from rich backgrounds in performance within the jazz genre giving The New Assembly its unique voice.

“Aimee-Jo Benoit is an interpreter with a unique voice and a very personal universe that make her a one-of-a-kind artist. ” — thierry de clemensat, paris-move
