Winner of the 2022 Juno Award for “Jazz Album of the Year (solo)”, and “Jazz Artist of the Year” at the 2022 Western Canada Music Awards, Winnipeg-based Will Bonness has been active on the international jazz scene for two decades. He has performed at many of the major jazz festivals in North America, as well as in the world’s most prestigious venues, with such luminaries as Avishai Cohen, Quincy Davis, and Jimmy Greene, among others.
