Montreal Based Free Jazz H ii Regions is an ensemble with jazz roots born just as Montréal’s health restrictions were being relaxed for the first time. Never knowing which session would be their last, the trio’s music emerged spontaneously with raw passion and fury and incredible emotional release. Their music evokes the past and combines jazz, Afro-Caribbean influences and improvised music. Their goal is clear: transforming pre-COVID musical forms into music that reflects our “new realities.” Aaron Leaney - tenor saxophone and bells Nicolas Caloia - electric bass Jahsun Promesse - drums and percussion The New Thing is a monthly series dedicated to free jazz and improvised music. It's presented by Infidels Jazz, with help from the VJO Society, and takes place at Zameen Art House once a month.
