Montréal pianist and composer François Bourassa stands among Canada’s most celebrated modern jazz artists. A multiple Félix Award winner and JUNO nominee with eleven albums under his belt, he has built an international reputation for lyrical composition, rhythmic sophistication, and seamless ensemble interplay. His album L’impact du silence (2022) and his latest release Swirl (2023) showcase his quartet’s refined balance of structure and improvisation. Bourassa has toured extensively in Western Canada and last appeared at TD JazzFest in 2018; this marks a welcome return to TD Victoria International JazzFest with his longstanding quartet. For listeners who value elegance, nuance, and world-class Canadian artistry, this performance is essential. Join TD JazzFest in celebrating one of Québec’s most influential jazz composers live on the West Coast. François Bourassa piano, Guy Boisvert bass, André Leroux saxophones/flute, Guillaume Pilote drums.
