Musician

JabFung

JabFung is the creative brainchild of Toronto bassist Julian Anderson-Bowes and Los Angeles-based drummer Anthony Fung. Since 2014, the project has served as a vital bridge between local and international jazz scenes, anchored by semi-annual multi-night runs at Toronto’s Rex Hotel. Over the years, JabFung has hosted a rotating cast of heavyweights—from Canadian icons like Kirk MacDonald to American greats like George Garzone and contemporary peers like Leland Whitty (BADBADNOTGOOD).

The project has recently solidified into a quartet featuring Juno-nominated Cuban-Canadian masters Luis Deniz (saxophone) and Rafael Zaldivar (piano). Their 2025 debut, Epoch, established the group's reputation for an improvisational musical dialogue rooted in trust and a shared vision for collaborative, instinctual performances. This core quartet, defined by a decade of collective history, provides the foundation for the group's blend of technical prowess and raw emotional presence.
