Tuesday Night Jazz at the Church presents the Maude Fortier Quartet and the Muneeb Hermans Quartet — a special Double Bill!
Join us for a very special double bill featuring rising-star Montreal saxophonist Maude Fortier and acclaimed South African trumpeter Muneeb Hermans.
Every once in a while, Tuesday Night Jazz has the opportunity to present a truly exceptional double bill — and this evening is no exception.
We originally had the chance to showcase the extraordinary musicianship, talent, and spirit of trumpeter Muneeb Hermans from South Africa. Then, when Hermann's Jazz Club temporarily closed for renovations, an outstanding quartet of touring musicians found themselves in need of a venue. We seized the opportunity to bring these remarkable artists together, creating a unique evening that bridges age, geography, nationality, and musical heritage.
Join us for a one-night-only celebration of jazz from around the world!
Saxophonist, composer, and bandleader Maude Fortier brings her unique musical voice to the stage with a band of rising stars from Montreal. Her music is at once innovative and deeply rooted, passionate and exploratory. Performing with her regular touring ensemble, Fortier creates original jazz marked by a beautiful compositional aesthetic and a remarkable improvisational synergy among the musicians.
Renowned trumpeter Muneeb Hermans draws inspiration from both American jazz and his native South African musical traditions. One of the leading musicians of his generation, Hermans is an internationally respected performer and educator with extensive recording and festival experience. Joining Muneeb for this special presentation are renowned Montreal bassist Adrian Vedady, pianist Kate Wyatt, and drummer Kelby MacNayr.
