Since performing at the prestigious Jazzahead! tradeshow (Bremen, Germany) in its 2023 “Quebec Showcase,” the Montreal-based Samuel Bonnet has been building a reputation in Europe and across Canada for what critics call his “luminous, meticulous technique” and the “raw authenticity” of his playing.
His soon to be released album “SLOW” (October 2026) features the renowned New York trumpeter Joe Magnarelli, while a 2025 tour of Italy and upcoming performances in Europe further highlight his growing profile on the world jazz scene. This concert is part of a “Slow” album-launch tour across Western and Central Canada. Expect elegant melodies, subtle interplay, and the kind of intimate musical conversation that can only happen with exceptional musicians!
