Sponsored by Westwood International, the Brass Lantern Inn in collaboration with Firefly Productions is thrilled to bring Christine Jensen to 'Jazz at the Lantern' on May 9th.
Montreal-based saxophonist and composer, Jensen has contributed a distinctive voice to the creative jazz scene with large and small ensembles for the last twenty-five years. As a Downbeat Critic's Poll winner for Rising Star Big Band, Arranger, and Soprano Saxophonist, she is constantly in motion leading her own jazz orchestra and small ensemble. Her jazz orchestra recordings have gone on to win the CanadianJuno awards, including Habitat (2014) and Treelines (2011), and again this year in 2024 (Day Moon). She is two-time recipient of SOCAN's Hagood Hardy Jazz Composer Award. Habitat received the coveted 5 stars in Downbeat, along with Jazz Album of the Year, while making the top of several international critic's polls. In 2017, Jensen was awarded The Prix Oscar Peterson from the Montreal International Jazz Festival.
Christine will be backed by New Orleans Bassist JD Haenni, and Vermont jazz stalwarts Evan Allen on keys, and Geza Carr on the drums.
