On this episode, we explore her captivating new 2026 album, The Re-Collection , a fresh and imaginative jazz interpretation of beloved 1980s pop classics. Featuring inspired arrangements of songs by Kate Bush , Eurythmics , Joe Jackson , and other iconic artists, Jaana transforms familiar favorites into sophisticated modern jazz performances filled with swing, improvisation, and emotional depth. Following her acclaimed 2022 debut album, Better Than Anything , which showcased original arrangements honoring jazz legends Horace Silver and Bob Dorough , Jaana continues to establish herself as one of today's most inventive jazz vocalists. Born in India and raised in the United States, Jaana's musical journey began at an early age, singing along to Simon & Garfunkel before embracing traditional Indian music with her family. During college in Chicago, she discovered jazz through jam sessions, immersing herself in the city's rich jazz tradition while developing her unique voice as an interpreter, arranger, and storyteller. In this conversation, we discuss The Re-Collection , arranging pop music for jazz ensembles, vocal improvisation, the influence of Indian and American musical traditions, growing as an artist, the New York jazz scene, and her creative process.
