Canadian Jazz Artists

Many Canadian jazz artists and groups have achieved national or international prominence and  have received critical or audience acclaim in Canada and abroad. These performers include Oscar Peterson, Lenny Breau, Moe Koffman, Guido Basso, Gil Evans, Rob McConnell, Maynard Ferguson, Kenny Wheeler –  all of which are members of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, as well as contemporary vocal artists such as Michael Bublé, Diana Krall and Carol Welsman.

Canada has a diverse and vibrant jazz community which puts forth a very high level of musicianship, apparent in all parts of the country. Our Canadian Jazz Artists today, as well as in the past, are creating, performing and recording music that holds up to the highest standards.
