Event Description
Self-taught bassist Alain Bédard
has been a professional jazz
musician for two decades, and is
a well-known figure in Quebec
and France (and also the founder
and president of the Effendi jazz
label). In 1994 he began
studying classical double bass,
and developed a parallel career in
the realm of chamber music. But
jazz remains his main love, and
Bédard’s Auguste Quintette has,
for more than a decade, played at
jazz festivals in North America
and Europe. The Quintette, some
of Quebec’s most sought-after
musicians, includes Jean-
Christophe Béney tenor/soprano saxophone, Frank Lozano
tenor/soprano saxophone,
Alexandre Grogg piano and Pierre
Tanguay drums.
