AFJP's new album is a true invitation to travel to the heart of the Quebec jazz scene. True to its title, this unique project was recorded in three iconic venues, each with its own singular atmosphere and energy: Boquébière in Sherbrooke, Dièse Onze in Montreal, and Bar St-Angèle in Quebec City. Rather than confining themselves to a studio, AFJP opted for the spontaneity and authenticity of live performance, capturing the magic of the moment and the connection between the mus

This year, the online magazine M Media Jazz invites you to delve into the heart of jazz education. Throughout the year, we will share a series of interviews with passionate jazz teachers who will open the doors to their practice and vision.
