Born out of the Atlantic Jazz Nights concert series at the Arts and Culture Centre in St. John’s, the Atlantic Jazz Collective’s mission is to develop and promote jazz in Atlantic Canada and beyond through exciting international collaborations. The group (Mike Murley, Jim Vivian, and Florian Hoefner) presents their debut album “Seascape (Alma Records, May 2025) that features revered UK-based vocalist, Norma Winstone. Her 1987 ECM album Somewhere Called Home was described as “one most original yet idyllic of vocal jazz recordings” by Allmusic. The ensemble will be completed by one of the outstanding drummers of the Canadian scene, Ottawa native, Nick Fraser.

The repertoire includes reimagined versions of pieces by Maria Schneider, Kenny Wheeler, John Taylor, Ralph Towner, Steve Swallow and others. A brilliant wordsmith whose timeless, poetic lyrics have set the standard for the contemporary jazz art song, Winstone has written original lyrics to these previously instrumental pieces.
