LIVE MUSIC - Jacob Do Octet ~ Jazz

Jacob Do is a jazz saxophonist, composer, and educator whose resonant and nuanced sound lends itself to emotional storytelling through improvisation. Jacob elevates and serves the music through his authentic, precise, and ambitious approach as an improviser, connecting to audiences on a deeply human level.

As an artist, he has crafted original compositions and arrangements, unified by soundscapes of intensity and vulnerability, evident in his most recent single, Fourtune. He has been praised as “a musician of great talent, and his success comes from a combination of daily practice and his musicality” (Rémi Bolduc). Jacob is currently based in Edmonton, AB, where he is quickly establishing himself as a prominent voice in the city’s music scene.

Currently, Jacob is channeling his creativity into a new venture - the Jacob Do Octet - where he combines his extensive training with a bold artistic vision, resulting in a captivating blend of tradition and contemporary exploration. This refreshing instrumentation gives Jacob access to a dynamic sound palette that evokes ferocity, persistence, intimacy, and nostalgia.
