Christine
Jensen Quintet (CANADA) - April 9th 2011
Montreal-based
saxophonist and composer Christine Jensen has
been described as, “an original voice
on the international jazz scene… [and]
one of Canada’s most compelling composers,”
by the Globe and Mail.
“Jensen
writes in three dimensions, with a quiet kind
of authority that makes the many elements cohere.
Wayne Shorter, Maria Schneider and Kenny Wheeler
come to mind.”-Down Beat Magazine.
Jensen has toured
the world with her quintet, and has made numerous
appearances at the Montreal International Jazz
Festival with both her small and large ensembles
over the years .
