Fine Canadian Forces is Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist Jordan Fine: a loop-pedal specialist making music rooted in Rock/Pop, but adding influences ranging from Classical and Modern Jazz, to Yacht and Prog Rock, and to Glam Metal and Grunge. Originally a classic-rock-inspired, jazz-trained guitarist, Jordan went straight from university to sail away as a cruise-ship show-band guitarist. After three years on the ocean he threw off his sea legs, itching to forge a new musical path and identity back in his hometown of Toronto. 

His new release, Hebrew Lessons is a culmination of a year's worth of songwriting, and tongue-in-cheek cover arranging. The album features a steady mix of both, with the former including hits by Steve Winwood, Rick Springfield, the Beatles, and the McGarrigle Sisters. The sound of the record features a blend of electric (electric guitars and effects, KORG synthesizer) and organic (vocal beat-box percussion, brass, vocals.)

The original compositions are intended to be as densely polyphonic and complex as can be replicated live, where individual guitar, synth, vocal, and rhythm lines are layered on top of each other, deconstructed, harmonically shifted, and tempo shifted – all while remaining faithful to the standard modern pop form. The cover arrangements are also intended to be as richly dense, but with the original pieces isolated into individual lines, and then slowly reconstructed to be unique, yet recognizable, live remixes.

Jordan also currently arranges brass and plays Trombone for rock band Five Star Trailer Park and plays lead guitar for Lake Country VHS.
