Jacques Kuba Séguin

JACQUES KUBA SÉGUIN : Versatile and adventurous, the trumpet player, composer, radio show host / programmer and teacher at the Vincent D'Indy music school, Jacques Kuba Séguin asserts himself within a variable geometry formation: with his sextet ODD LOT (created in 2003) and his quartet Litania Projekt (created in 2011) and Migrations (created in 2019). Séguin's repertoire is composed of melodic, explosive and accessible tunes and as a performer he has a definite sense of showmanship. With Migrations Jacques is a winner of the PRIX JUNOS 2020 and the FÉLIX 2020 award in the category "Best Jazz Album of the Year" and nominated for the Prix Opus in the same category in the spring of 2020. This trumpet player and composer with Polish roots has been Révélation Radio-Canada 2012-2013, while asserting himself more and more on the national scene. In 2015 & 2016, he is nominated at the ADISQ in two categories: arranger and jazz album of the year for L'élévation du point de chute (2015), Litania Projekt with the Quatuor Bozzini (2016). He received a nomination for the Prix Opus 2016, jazz album of the year with this same album. www.jacqueskubaseguin.com/
