"The Telling" CD is here!

The Jayde/Foltys Project

singer/songwriter/producer Mardi Jayde & guitarist/writer/producer Gad Foltys

When asked what kind of music we play, we say “liquid”… what we mean is liquid, undulating vocals … the smooth hand of Gadi’s acoustic playing … ethereal chord progressions hovering over steady hypnotic grooves …the fusing of jazz, r&b and middle eastern influences.., and stream of consciousness lyrics that attempt to unite temporal with spiritual, inner with outer worlds, and pathos with humour. Enough said. You listen, and tell us what kind of music we play...that’s far more interesting for us.
Our first CD TRAPEZE was about taking a leap... it was new, we were new, as writers and players together. We still love the first CD, and so do our fans. But we’re deeply excited about THE TELLING, a more worldly and rooted story about who we are and where we’ve been. It is, our soul in music. And we thank our third partner, world-wandering hand-drummer Jamie Hudson whose magical stamp is on almost every track.
Add the sweet harmonica sounds of Maple Leaf Blues award winner Carlos del Junco to 2 tracks, plus a Toronto-based string quartet to indulge me in my Beatlish fantasy, jazz drummers Marty Frankel and Nick Fraser and some gruvy friends on BG vocals, and we have our new offering, out June 2008.Enjoy the music ! And please visit our website www.mardijayde.com and check out the Synergy page too… let me know what you think.
