Event Details
Swedish trumpeter Anders Bergcrantz is widely regarded as one of the major voices of his instrument. An internationally acclaimed performer and recording artist, he has worked with an extraordinary range of musicians, including Victor Lewis, Billy Hart, Richie Beirach, Lenny White, Ed Thigpen, Tootie Heath, McCoy Tyner, Mike Brecker, and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.
Bergcrantz is also an award-winning artist who has topped international jazz polls, including being named #1 Best Trumpeter in 2020 for Elevate and #1 Best Trumpeter in 2017 for Soulfully Yours by Jazz Station/Jazz, Bossa and Beyond.
Known for his stunning physical power, broad emotional range, and deeply soulful sound, Bergcrantz carries forward the tradition of great trumpet voices such as Woody Shaw, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, and Miles Davis while bringing a highly distinctive voice of his own.
Performing around the world as both a guest soloist and bandleader, Bergcrantz now brings his remarkable artistry to Montreal for two special performances with the Anders Bergcrantz Quintet.
He will be joined by the stellar faculty of the St. Francis Xavier University Music Program: saxophonist Kenji Omae, pianist Jeff Johnston, bassist Paul Rushka, and drummer Anthony Michelli.
