Montreal Jazz Trio will be released on Friday, October 15th on ODD SOUND.

Joel Frahm’s brilliant new trio album ‘The Bright Side’ continues to make waves! A big thanks to Kevin Whitehead at NPR and Brian Morton at Downbeat for their kind words!

You can listen to Kevin’s piece for Fresh Air here.

Brian Morton’s review is featured in the October 2021 issue of Downbeat.
“…the trio plays as a unit, with absolute confidence… He called a previous album We Used To Dance. These guys still do.”

Congrats to saxophonist and composer Joel Miller, whose brilliant album Unstoppable was awarded the 2021 East Coast Music Award for Jazz Recording of the Year! It was a real pleasure working on this record with Joel, and we’re so pleased to see it recognized by the ECMA. Cheers Joel!

A big congrats to Montreal’s Emie R Roussel Trio on their nomination for Jazz Album of the Year: Group at the 2021 Juno Awards! We’ll be watching the awards ceremony with our fingers crossed!
