Pianist and composer Michelle Grégoire is a central voice in the Canadian jazz scene, known for her elegant touch, subtle phrasing, and thoughtful approach to improvisation. An active performer and bandleader for decades, her music has been widely heard on XM Radio and Galaxie, and she has toured extensively across Canada with her quintet. Grégoire’s work reflects a deep command of harmony and form, shaped by years of performance, composition, and collaboration.
As both a leader and in-demand collaborator, she has performed with artists including Dee Dee Bridgewater, Peter Appleyard, and Kenny Wheeler, earning a reputation for refined ensemble playing and expressive nuance. In the trio setting, her music unfolds with clarity and intention—balancing structure and improvisation with a strong sense of interplay and musical conversation.
Jammers welcome – free admission for those ready to play.
