2020 JAZZ ALBUM OF THE YEAR: SOLO | Jacques Kuba Séguin | | The JUNO Awards

A winner of the 2012-13 Radio-Canada Revelations prize, Séguin is more and more present on the Quebec stage. In 2015, he was nominated for ADISQ awards in two categories: best arranger and jazz album of the year for L’élévation du point de chute and, in 2016, for Litania Projekt with the Quatuor Bozzini in the same two categories. In 2015, he was nominated for a Prix Opus for jazz album of the year for L’élévation du point de chute, and for jazz and world music concert of the year for his 2014 Montreal International Jazz Festival show, where Jacques presented an expanded version of his Litania Projekt, adding a string quartet to the ensemble.

For more than ten years, Jacques has been regularly touring Europe, especially Poland. In fall 2016, he undertook a 13-concert tour of Poland, Lithuania, and Germany to celebrate the European release of JKS Litania Projekt avec le Quatuor Bozzini by Slovakian jazz label Hevhetia. This same project was later presented in China, Quebec, and the rest of Canada.

In 2019, Jacques has toured 5 times in Europe (Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, France, Hungary and Switzerland) and twice across Canada with his own project (MiGRATIONS) and other projects (Elizabeth Shepherd, Jazzlab Orchestra)
