"The three musicians share a deep bond and a poised approach beyond their years, although think the calibre of Michaud-Gagnon’s playing and composing would be a mighty rallying point for the band as a collective." -Peter hum
GENTIANE MG trio

Formed with bassist Levi Dover and drummer Mark Nelson, pianist Gentiane MG’s ensemble pushes the limits of the jazz trio through the creation of unique, contemporary and original sonorities. Each in their own right a virtuosic instrumentalist and passionate improviser, the three musicians collaborate to create a universe of pure communication which provides each concert with a constantly renewed energy that captivates the audience.
In support of their latest release, the band has performed over fifty times, touring in countries such as Canada, Mexico, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Hungary and France, including impressive performances at the Echternach Jazz Festival in Luxembourg, the Unterfahrt Jazz Club in Munich, the Opus Jazz Club in Budapest and the Sunside Jazz Club in Paris.
Gentiane MG has released three albums with this ensemble, Eternal Cycle (Arté Boréal, 2017), Wonderland (Effendi, 2019) and Walls Made of Glass (TPR Records, 2022). Gentiane MG's music has earned her numerous awards, including the Révélation Radio-Canada Award, the price François-Marcaurelle from the Guilde des musiciens du Québec (2019), the Opus, Artist of the Year (2020) and Best Jazz Album of the Year (2023). Her latest album also earned her nominations at ADISQ (Quebec) and JUNO (Canada) 2024.
