Gentiane MG

Montreal’s Gentiane Michaud-Gagnon, performing under the moniker Gentiane MG, is one of the most exciting voices in contemporary Canadian jazz. She arrives at the Jazz Bistro this June to showcase material from her fourth album, *Can You Hear the Birds?*, a project that feels as much like a conversation as it does a concert.

The Music Gentiane’s work is deeply rooted in the interplay between vulnerability and strength. Alongside long-standing collaborators Levi Dover (bass) and Mark Nelson (drums), her trio creates what can best be described as "open emotional landscapes." Their music moves fluidly between the turbulence of grief and the clarity of joy, utilizing a blend of jazz and classical influences that feels both intellectual and deeply human.

The Experience Located on Victoria Street, the Jazz Bistro offers the perfect intimate setting for this kind of trio work. You’ll be close enough to witness the trust and intuition that defines their collective expression—a hallmark of a group that has spent years developing a shared musical language.

If you’re looking for an evening that prioritizes emotional resonance and artistic clarity, this is the place to be. It’s a great mid-week escape in the heart of Old Toronto, perfect for a quiet date or a night of serious listening. Don't miss the chance to see one of Quebec's most promising composers in such a classic Toronto setting.
