Jazzy Christmas

Christmas + jazz = a perfect evening!
What people are saying:
“A jazzy Christmas that takes us far beyond the classics. […] Rémi Bolduc confidently navigates within the quartet and offers various solos where Coltrane’s influence can be felt with impressive maturity. […] The group managed to ‘jazz up’ the Christmas songs beautifully and pushed the interpretations further for a successful evening, especially thanks to the richness of Jim Doxas and Ira Coleman’s rhythm section, giving ample space for François Bourassa’s piano and the beautiful musicality of Rémi Bolduc’s saxophone.” — Jérôme Daviau, sors-tu.ca
