Mathieu Soucy (he/him/il), “a natural-born swinger” (Jack Bowers, All About Jazz), “has been making quite a splash on the scene these days as a player, educator and composer with a nicely balanced style that has one foot planted firmly in the tradition and one foot planted firmly in the now” (Lyle Robinson, Jazz Guitar Life). His second album “An Afternoon in NDG”, co-produced with saxophonist Jeremy Sandfelder, is set for release in the fall of 2024. Mathieu’s first full length album RECOLLECTING (Inner-Bop Records, self-released) features brilliant voices of the new generation of Canadian jazz and was released on September 30th. 2x JUNO-winner Caity Gyorgy makes a guest appearance on two tracks as a vocalist and lyricist.
