François Bourassa Quartet
Composer/pianist François Bourassa, 2007 Oscar Peterson Prize recipient (given by the Montréal International Jazz Festival) leads one of Canada’s most successful jazz ensembles with André Leroux (saxes), Guy Boisvert (bass), and Philippe Melanson (drums). Their latest recording in a catalogue of critically-acclaimed CD’s, Idiosyncrasie(Effendi), has received a JUNO Award nomination (Canada) for Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year. Rasstones, released in 2007, won the OPUS (Quebec) award. A previous recording (Live at the Top of the Senator) won Canada’s highest recording honor, the JUNO, and his Indefinite Time garnered him a FELIX, Quebec’s highest recording honor. Numerous tours have taken him all over the world, from festivals and concerts in Europe, to the US and Canada, Russia, India, China, Korea, Japan and Mexico,where he has performed in such prestigious events as the North Sea, Cork, and Paris Jazz Festivals; Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, and twice at the International Association of Jazz Educators’ conference (in New Orleans and in Toronto).Francois Bourassa has appeared onstage with many of the greats of jazz, including Wayne Shorter, Dave Brubeck and Dizzy Gillespie. « A pianist and composer of high stature in his native Montreal, Mr. Bourassa favors avant-gardism of a liquid and often lyrical sort. » Nate Chinen, New York Times
