Since the release of their debut album - It’s Wonderful - in 2001, Susie Arioli and Jordan Officer have been making jazz lovers very happy. In 2002, they gave us the wonderful Pennies From Heaven. Their third album, That’s For Me, will appeal to anyone graced by the work of these musicians who approach the music in an elegant, warm and very modern way. Singing and playing the snare drum, Susie Arioli – Mademoiselle Swing, as the critics like to call her – has found the perfect partner in Jordan Officer, a highly talented guitarist and arranger.
   Their repertoire has been a mix of swing era jazz (Bille Hiliday, Frank Sinatra,…), and other classic styles including blues (Memphis Slim) and western swing (Bob Wills). “Nothing but the best of the best...” (S. Cormier, Le Devoir). On the new album, That’s For Me, Jordan Officer also contributes a few originals Since that fabulous evening in the summer of 1998 where they brilliantly opened for Ray Charles, the Susie Arioli Band has been performing everywhere in Quebec and Canada, increasingly in the US, in Europe and in Asia.
   Joined by Shane McKenzie on doublebass, Susie and Jordan reach an expanding audience. Among the Susie Arioli Band’s most memorable performances, we must point out their appearances at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, New York’s Birdland Club, Paris’ Django Reinhardt Festival and London’s Royal Festival Hall.
