The Jacob Wutzke Quartet is a dynamic, creative group of some of Montréal’s finest improvising musicians. The group plays principally original compositions by their leader Jacob Wutzke, as well as imaginative arrangements and interpretations of iconic American Songbook tunes and classic Jazz Standards. The group specializes in creative improvisational performance, inspired by some of Wutzke’s strongest musical influences including hard-bop, Afro-Cuban music, bebop and contemporary jazz. Taken together, the group brings an exciting sound that is shaped just as much by the individual voices of the members as it is by Wutzke’s compositions and arrangements.
The quartet is releasing their debut album “Show Yourself” on February 17th, 2023 with singles having been released throughout 2022.
