From Winnipeg, Manitoba, Pacific Prairie Jazz Quintet's co-leader saxophonists - Anna Blackmore and Tristan Martinuson - are alumni of the University of Manitoba Jazz Studies program, where they studied under acclaimed New York saxophonist, 1996 Thelonious Monk Competition winner, and Phil Woods protégé Jon Gordon. Under Gordon’s mentorship, they developed a deep appreciation for the jazz tradition, which continues to shape their playing styles and compositions.
Having grown together as musicians on the bandstand, they have performed with the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra, the TD Ottawa Jazz Fest Youth Ensemble, Derrick Gardner’s Big Dig! Band, and on Gordon’s 2021 Juno-nominated album Stranger Than Fiction. Over the past three years, they have established themselves in Vancouver’s jazz scene, collaborating with Canadian jazz luminaries such as Jodi Proznick, Bill Coon, Fred Stride, Shirantha Beddage, and James Danderfer. Their original compositions, inspired by their time in the stunning Pacific Northwest, reflect their journey and evolving artistry.

Pianist Carter Graham presents Lush Life: The Music of Billy Strayhorn and Joe Henderson - an exploration of two jazz giants that highlights their profound contributions to the genre. This performance delves into the artistry of Billy Strayhorn—known for shaping Duke Ellington’s iconic sound with his sophisticated compositions and deeply personal lyrics—and Joe Henderson, an acclaimed composer and saxophonist renowned for his intricate harmonies and emotional depth.
Graham connects these two legends through Henderson’s 1992 album, Lush Life: The Music of Billy Strayhorn, and celebrates their shared ability to craft music filled with complexity, beauty, and emotional resonance. Alongside performances of Strayhorn’s masterpieces like Lush Life and A Flower Is a Lovesome Thing, the program examines his groundbreaking compositional techniques and the impact of his identity on his career. It also highlights Henderson’s innovative style, influenced by both his formal training and deep immersion in jazz tradition.
Featuring an exceptional ensemble, this performance promises to be an unforgettable journey through the music of two of jazz’s most evocative and timeless composers.

“My vision is to create, perform and record music that aids in the healing of the human spirit,is rooted in heartfelt soulfulness, and guided by intuition.”
Founded in 2015 by Nils Frahm, WORLD PIANO DAY is an annual worldwide event which takes place on the 88th day of the year – derived from the number of keys on a piano. The goal of Piano Day is simple: to raise the profile of the piano, inspire more people to play the piano and encourage piano playing in public spaces. Nils Frahm says "it doesn't hurt to celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener". 
Pianist Danny Carroll is a seasoned Manitoba artist and performer. At the core of all of the music he composes and plays is a soulful expression of musically ‘thinking in sound’. His original music combines many different genres (jazz, neo-classical (akin to Olafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm and Max Richter), classical-crossover, electronic instruments) and improvisation into a very accessible and unique musical voice.  This WORLD PIANO DAY concert will be performed on a grand piano, with some electronic instruments sprinkled throughout the program. Interwoven throughout the music are Danny's insightful thoughts and humorous stories from his life's journey.
Winnipeg Free Press “Carroll has composed genre-blurring works that have elements of classical, new age, jazz and electronics meant to keep the ‘ol ticker beating from one life-affirming moment to the next.”
In the Spotlight – CJNU Radio “Very relaxing stuff, very therapeutic.  Puts you in a good mind set.  … a beautiful album he has put together.”
 Danny’s music has been heard in many Winnipeg theatre productions: Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, Prairie Theatre Exchange, Manitoba Theatre for Young People, and Winnipeg Jewish Theatre. He has also created music for children’s choir, film, and corporate videos.
 Danny is a gigging pianist, a favourite performer for many private and corporate functions. He played often at the Hotel Fort Garry lounge for 18 years. Danny has played for Rainbow Stage (Canada’s largest outdoor musical theatre venue) as rehearsal pianist, pit musician and Music Director, and is inducted in the Wall of Fame at Rainbow Stage.He has a Bachelor of Music (Composition) and Masters in Education.
"My intent is that this music I share from my heart may help you to connect with your heart."
Tickets: $25.00 In Advance (plus fees/GST)Part of the proceeds will be donated to Harvest Manitoba

Hallfield • Solaire • skyblues.

Composer and drummer Tetyana Haraschuk is a singular talent. Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, to Ukrainian and Cuban parents and now based in Winnipeg, Tetyana was raised with strong values of hard work, kindness, frugality, and simplicity. These principles, combined with her natural sensitivity and storytelling gift, shine through in her music, which is intricately textured, rhythmically detailed, and emotionally rich—ranging from delicate to aggressive and always deeply felt.
Tetyana immigrated to Canada with her family at age eight, which allowed her to explore her inquisitive nature and begin her musical journey, starting with piano lessons and later drums. She discovered jazz in high school, and after meeting drummer Quincy Davis at a jazz camp, she was inspired to pursue music further. Mentored by Davis and saxophonist Jon Gordon at the University of Manitoba, she earned a bachelor’s degree in jazz performance before completing a master’s degree in contemporary performance and production from Berklee College of Music.
In 2021, Tetyana independently released her debut album, The Intentions of Honesty, Kindness, and Perseverance, a chamber jazz suite of original compositions. Her 2023 EP, Someone You’ve Never Been, further showcased her artistry. She has released two singles, performed internationally with her trio in Spain and Brazil, written commissioned works for the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra, and served as a sessional instructor of jazz drum set at the University of Manitoba Faculty of Music.
Her most recent project, Until The Sun Comes, is a deeply personal work as both artistic director and composer. Inspired by interviews with Ukrainian war survivors, it serves as a musical documentation of their stories, created in collaboration with Winnipeg-based Ice River Films and their documentary Voices of Freedom. The film, which chronicles Tetyana’s creative process, is available to stream on CBC Gem, while the album Until The Sun Comes is streaming on all music platforms.

Jazz Winnipeg is thrilled to welcome Madeleine Peyroux to the Desautels Concert Hall at University of Manitoba. 

 
About Madeleine Peyroux:
“Let us advance our mortal bodies upWhere hearts and minds will goLet’s walk, let’s roll.”
So sings Madeleine Peyroux on the upbeat title track of her captivating ninth album - Let’s Walk - the acclaimed singer-songwriter’s most assured, courageous work to date. Powered by the distinctive, honeyed croon that delivered her from the Paris streets to concert halls, these ten unabashedly personal songs, all co-written by the versatile Peyroux, deftly interweave jazz, folk, and chamber pop, with themes ranging from the confessional to the political, from whimsy to yearning. In every note, Peyroux digs deep, rendering this exquisite work with the disarming grace and gravitas of an artist in peak form.For the ardently civic-minded Peyroux, Let’s Walk continues the scintillating conversation with her audience – and with the world at large. “This music is part of a dialogue,” she says. “That’s what art is. It’s engagement, community. I believe more than anything in getting together with people and listening to music and conversing. Music is the only way I’ve ever built community.”Let’s Walk was a long time coming, but well worth the wait. Following Peyroux’s 2018 album, Anthem, the enforced isolation of the global pandemic made any real-time community gathering impossible. From a creative standpoint, however, Covid offered Peyroux a silver lining: she seized the opportunity to hunker down with longtime collaborator, multi-instrumentalist Jon Herington (Steely Dan, Lucy Kaplansky). The pair reflected on the seismic era at hand and wrote and re-wrote in what Peyroux calls “a shadow of reckoning.” When multi-Emmy-and-Grammy-winning producer Elliott Scheiner (Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles) heard a sampling of the new material, he mandated “no covers” for the album. The longtime studio veteran knew the time was ripe to highlight Peyroux’s incisive, often topical lyrics meshed with Herington’s ear for melody and arrangements.Album opener “Find True Love” came to Peyroux during the George Floyd murder trial. Like “Let’s Walk,” “Find True Love” is an irresistible entreaty to join a journey. First stop: New Orleans. “I was searching for solace in the American landscape,” Peyroux says. “I was imagining the first step toward healing, if there could be a future worth living for.” Herington’s pulsing, finger-picked acoustic guitar, interwoven with Andy Ezrin’s shimmering keys, propel Peyroux’s message of steadfast hope in the face of encroaching darkness. Says Peyroux: “The ideas in this song let me imagine a place where I can become a better me.”An astonished Peyroux says the title track came to her in a dream – including “the words, the rhythm, and the form” – a rarity for her. “The lyric refers to mass mobilization of marchers for civil rights around the world,” Peyroux says. “A voluntarily unified action in support of a humanitarian ideology. Herington fleshed out “Let’s Walk” with gospel textures, organ, and a steady, infectious beat, enlisting buoyant harmonies from Grammy-winning artist Catherine Russell (David Bowie, Rosanne Cash), along with vocalists supreme Cindy Mizelle (Bruce Springsteen) and Keith Fluitt (Patti LaBelle, Michael Jackson). Their churchy call-and-response with Peyroux’s burnished lead elevate “Please Come On Inside” and “Blues for Heaven” into a revival of emotion.“How I Wish” is Peyroux’s response to the horrific murders – over a period of three months in 2020 – of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. This melancholy, minor key waltz acknowledges her privilege, and her anguish. “2020 was the year I woke up,” she says. Immersing herself in the work of such writers as Cornel West, she was struck by West’s repeated references to Black musicians as “Love Warriors,” responding to oppression with game-changing music: Nina Simone, Louis Armstrong, Marian Anderson, to name a few. “These are my teachers and my heroes,” Peyroux says. “African American music has been the one constant, true path in my life.”One such mentor was Dan William Fitzgerald, aka “Showman Dan,” for whom Peyroux wrote a rollicking ode after her longtime friend passed away in 2017. As leader of the Lost Wandering Blues and Jazz Band, the American-born expat took a very young, inexperienced Peyroux under his wing to perform across Europe, as she says, “on the street, in the underground, the public square, jazz clubs, restaurants, and private homes of dukes and duchesses.” Like many Black artists before him, Fitzgerald found he could get more artistic traction in France than he could in his homeland and conveyed his love of street theater to Peyroux, who’d moved with her mother to Paris at age 12.While in Paris, Peyroux noticed the custom of bourgeois parents buying an apartment for their grown children. For the satirical “Et Puis,” the bilingual singer assumes the role of that young adult as one “both blissfully ignorant of their privilege and consciously disgusted by its injustice.”For “Nothing Personal,” Peyroux bravely grapples head-on with sexual assault – both her own, and others. She reflects that the perpetrator should “learn every aspect of the consequence of their actions and be party to recovery in whatever way is welcome by the victim.” Herington’s mournful, insistent piano and acoustic guitar recall the intensity of “Plastic Ono Band,” with Peyroux’s painful-yet-resolved vocals intimate and beautifully unadorned.Peyroux changes gears with the playful, Caribbean-flavored “Me and the Mosquito,” and rapid-fire spoken-word album closer, “Take Care.” The former, inspired by Hank Williams’ hilarious classic “Fly Trouble,” offers perhaps the most humanist treatise ever on what Peyroux calls “the elusive singular mosquito which can ruin a night’s sleep.” For the latter, Peyroux “prayed to the spoken-word genius of Linton Kwesi Johnson” to deliver a heartfelt advisory re: avoiding the pervasive toxins in food, clothing, and modern culture in general. “I don’t recommend a morose existence,” she recites over Herington’s ska-flavored guitar and sampled marimba, “life is an art and perspective needs distance / But ya gotta get lean and scrappy and fight / If you’re gonna begin to get livin’ right.”When the road beckons this spring, Peyroux’s community of loyal fans is in for a treat. Thanks to serendipitous delay, her collaborators Herington and Scheiner, and the very perspective she shares in “Take Care,” the spare, slow burning Let’s Walk material will be set free in venues around the world, effortlessly dovetailing with Peyroux’s beloved versions of Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and Tom Waits (to name a few) classics. As she learned in her busking years, a great song can wield powerful magic, and inspire the best in any type of crowd. With Let’s Walk, Madeleine Peyroux takes full ownership of that magic.
