Kayla Summer brings a fresh perspective to jazz, with a voice that is young, vibrant, and deeply connected to the present moment. Hailing from Québec, she represents a new generation of artists breathing new life into the classics while paving their own musical path.
From an early age, she was drawn to the great voices of jazz—Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone—but it’s with her own unique sensitivity that she embraces this rich repertoire, blending in modern influences and a deeply personal touch full of emotion and authenticity.
On stage, Kayla captivates with her luminous presence and a voice that is both gentle and powerful, transporting audiences into a warm, intimate world. Her repertoire flows seamlessly between timeless standards, original compositions, and bold reinterpretations of contemporary songs, always infused with the soulful warmth of jazz that defines her style.
Today, Kayla Summer is an artist to watch—a rising voice in the Québec jazz scene, known for her vocal talent and the sincerity of her performances. Whether in an intimate setting or on a grand stage, she delivers a musical experience that is elegant, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

Jane Mei is a Montreal-based jazz pianist whose musical voice is grounded in lyricism, engagement, and an occasional humoristic twist. In 2025, she completed her Bachelor’s in Jazz Performance at McGill University, where she studied privately with Marianne Trudel and Jean Michel Pilc. She then released in the same year Oceanography, her debuting all-originals album in which every piece evokes an element or a living creature of the sea.
Jane and her tightly knit trio will be playing live renditions of the album compositions. The modern rhythms and modal colours of the compositions, the chemistry of the band’s interactions, as well as Jane’s numerous ocean facts and stories behind each composition are bound to make for an irreplicable night of innovative, programmatic jazz.
Musicians
Jane Mei – piano
João Menegale-Barbi – bass
