CODE QUARTET feat. CHRISTINE JENSEN

Formed in 2017, Code Quartet is a powerhouse collective of four of Canada’s leading jazz composers and improvisers. Based in Montreal, it includes trumpeter Lex French, alto and soprano saxophonist Christine Jensen, Adrian Vedady on bass and Jim Doxas on drums. Jensen has racked up numerous national and international awards, including two Juno awards for her albums Treelines and Habitat. Vedady and Doxas have lent their artistry to some of the world’s great jazz artists, including Carla Bley, Dave Douglas, Oliver Jones and Marc Copland. French is a bright star on the Canadian jazz scene, highly in demand after relocating from New Zealand. The quartet features original compositions that draw from each member’s unique background, depicting many moods and creating an organic dialogue.
