A vibrant fusion of jazz, electronica, swing, and pop - a sonic portrait that brings together the many influences of JUNO Award nominee Audrey Ochoa.

The Sorceress is a vibrant fusion of jazz, electronica, swing, and pop - a sonic portrait that brings together the many influences that have shaped JUNO nominee Audrey Ochoa's musical journey. Each track blends improvisation with infectious hooks and lush harmonies, creating a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly new. At its heart, the trombone takes centre stage as a voice of emotion and empowerment, weaving stories of resilience, humour, and acceptance. This album is a celebration of transformation, creativity, and the magic that happens when genres and emotions intertwine. Ochoa elaborated on the album's title, 'On my last album release, I had been described as a 'trombone enchantress' and a 'sorceress of the trombone' by some media. I found that imagery both hilarious and flattering. Before having even written a song, I knew I had a title for my next album.' Never to be pigeonholed, Ochoa has compiled a listening experience for every jazz fan - from swing, to groove, to Latin - Cuban and Brazilian. Listeners are treated to even more of her sultry vocals than before as she steps out from behind the horn on four tracks. She commented on the music on The Sorceress, 'I try to write something every time I want to remember a moment, a person or a feeling. For example, 'Button People' are saxophone players, The 'Maintenance Phase' is the most failure-prone stage of dieting and one of my favourite podcasts, and 'Let's Give Up' tries to capture the moment where you realize freedom means letting go. This album is a collection of memories.' Exhilarating and exuberant, Audrey Ochoa exemplifies an artist who has dedicated herself to expertise while remaining relevant and light-hearted. With a magnificent and fresh-faced approach, she defies categorization and plants her flag firmly as a centrepiece of the Canadian music arena.
