LAILA BIALI from Sea To Sky (CBC Records) This one's a surefire winner from pianist and now pianist-vocalist Biali, one of the very best of Canada's new crop of jazz artists. Given a tryout at a Glenn Gould Studio concert in February accompanied by an all-star group that includes Guido Basso, Rob Piltch, Don Thompson and George Koller, the 11-song result should quell any doubts about her move from keyboard virtuoso to appealing singer with a distinctive sultry sound and an intimate, emotional jazz approach that can be playful or broody. Her repertoire is absolutely up to date, from Feist
