À quoi vous attendre

First Chorus est le premier album complet du saxophoniste ténor d'Edmonton Jacob Do. Il paraîtra le 6 novembre 2026 chez Bent River Records, maison de disque de la MacEwan University. Faisant suite à son EP bien accueilli Maybe, Live at the Yardbird Suite, cet album est l'aboutissement d'une étude approfondie du langage bebop, combinée au son et à la perspective d'un musicien canadien contemporain.

Jacob Do est saxophoniste de jazz, compositeur et pédagogue. Son son ample et nuancé se prête à une narration émotive par l'improvisation, ancrée dans le swing et la tradition bebop. Il est titulaire d'un diplôme en interprétation jazz de l'Université McGill, assorti d'une mention de réussite exceptionnelle (Outstanding Achievement) en saxophone jazz, où il a étudié avec Rémi Bolduc. Jacob a aussi participé au Tribeca Jazz Institute à New York, où il a étudié avec Grant Stewart et Eric Alexander. Il a remporté un Stingray Rising Star Award (2019, Festival international de jazz d'Ottawa) ainsi que le tout premier prix Oliver Jones (2019, Festival International de Jazz de Montréal). Selon PJ Perry, Jacob « apportera sans aucun doute une nouvelle énergie et de nouvelles idées au monde du jazz, et nous en sortirons tous gagnants ».

What to Expect

First Chorus is Edmonton-based tenor saxophonist Jacob Do’s debut full-length album, set for release on MacEwan University’s Bent River Records on November 6, 2026. Following his well-received EP Maybe, Live at the Yardbird Suite, this release is the culmination of a deep study of the bebop language, combined with the sound and perspective of a contemporary Canadian musician.

Jacob Do is a jazz saxophonist, composer, and educator whose resonant and nuanced sound lends itself to emotional storytelling through improvisation, rooted in swing and the bebop tradition. Jacob holds his degree in Jazz Performance from McGill University with Outstanding Achievement in Jazz Saxophone, where he studied with Rémi Bolduc. Jacob has also participated in the Tribeca Jazz Institute in New York City, where he studied with Grant Stewart and Eric Alexander. Jacob holds both a Stingray Rising Star Award (2019, Ottawa International Jazz Festival) and the inaugural Oliver Jones Award (2019, Festival International de Jazz de Montréal). Jacob “will no doubt bring some new energy and ideas to the jazz world and we’ll all be better off for it.” (PJ Perry)
