The JAZZLAB ORCHESTRA celebrates its 20th anniversary in the 2024-2025 season, shattering the boundaries of orchestral jazz.
Over the course of its career, the ensemble has developed a unique repertoire of original works, with world-class Quebec artists contributing to each project. As a result, the collective's activities focus mainly on specific productions conceived for or by its own personnel.
With a series of over 400 concerts in Canada and abroad, taking part in a multitude of major jazz festivals and artistic events on several continents, JAZZLAB ORCHESTRA has released 8 album projects, all acclaimed by critics at home and abroad, and 40 special shows in collaboration with international artists François Théberge, Stéphane Belmondo, Ted Nash, Zhao Ke, Rufus Reid, Don Thompson, Donny McCaslin, Reg Schwager, Mark Feldman, Rafael Zaldivar, François Bourassa, Jocelyn Ménard, Toine Thys, Fulvio Albano, and most recently Greg Lamy and Claudia Chan Tak.
All of the JAZZLAB ORCHESTRA projects without exception have been nominated in the categories of Best Jazz Album and/or Best Jazz Concert at ADISQ, JUNO, Prix OPUS, Choc JazzMan, Downbeat, etc. Among these nominations are those of the latest project "Loguslabusmuzikus" nominated at ADISQ in the categorie of Best Album of the year 2019, Hit of the Month in the magazine Couleurs Jazz (France) and 4 & 5 stars in several other magazines.
