The University of Toronto 12TET
The University of Toronto 12tet is a contemporary ensemble comprised of students in the Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate programs. Since its creation in 2012, the ensemble has established itself as a vehicle for elite players and composers in the jazz performance program and beyond. The band has been featured many times at the Rex Hotel and U of T’s Walter Hall with guests who rank among Canada’s most prominent jazz musicians. Guest soloists include Ralph Alessi, Jim Lewis and Chase Sanborn and Will Kennedy (Yellowjackets). The 12tet has recorded and released 2 full-length CDs featuring original compositions and arrangements by U of T students and Faculty: Rebirth in 2013, and Trillium Falls in 2016. Smaller than a traditional big band, the 12-piece format allows more freedom for soloists while still offering a wide range of ensemble textures
