Nominated for the Best Jazz Vocal Album Juno, Molly Johnson dropped in on CTV's etalk Daily to chat about her career and her view of the music industry.

After 20 years in the music business, Molly Johnson is comfortable in her latest incarnation as a jazz performer.

Following a distinguished career in which she collaborated with such artists as k.d lang, Rush's Alex Lifeson, Blue Rodeo and Tom Cochrane, Johnson branched out in 2000 with her first solo disc.

Since then Johnson has embraced jazz, "I think it's amazing that I can do 75 minutes of original material and stay in a standards kind of mode, but with a very modern message," she explained.

Recorded in only eight days, the Juno-nominted album Another Day showcases Johnson's command of the jazz style. Having honed her skills performing, Johnson was keen to translate the live feel to her album.

"These are performance records, of the moment records," Johnson told etalk Daily. "It's not about spending six months on a drum sound. And believe me, the record industry is in big trouble because of the six months trying to get the drum sound."

Johnson derives a different thrill from the creative process.

"One of the things I'm most proud of about that record is that it's filled with Canadian composers... it's original Canadian material."

Molly Johnson, who is known for her eclectic sense of style, as well as her music, is undecided about the appropriate accessory for her Juno gala outfit.

"I'm trying to talk my husband into going with me, but I don't think that's working," Johnson lamented. "Particularly if there's a hockey game on that night."

For Molly Johnson and her family the Junos are a thrill, but they ultimately amount to just "Another Day.
