Celebrating and Reflecting Back on Guelph Jazz Festival @ 30

Read "Celebrating and Reflecting Back on Guelph Jazz Festival @ 30" reviewed by Josef Woodard

Triio: Six-ish Plateaus

Read "Six-ish Plateaus" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Canadian bassist Alex Fournier takes inspiration from some of the best, most notably bassist/cellist/composer Andrew Downing and bassist/composer Michael Formanek. Both of these mentors sit outside the mainstream, but not far off, within spitting distance we might say.
