Orchestre national de jazz de Montréal

**Orchestre national de jazz de Montréal (ONJ Montréal)**

Since 1984, the Orchestre national de jazz de Montréal has been a vibrant force in Canada’s jazz scene, known for its bold collaborations and genre-blurring projects. Based in Montreal, this dynamic ensemble isn’t your typical big band—they thrive on reinvention, partnering with guest artists like pianist-composer Jeanne Rochette and soul-jazz innovator Elizabeth Shepherd to craft genre-defying live experiences. Recent releases, such as *Pandemonia!* and *The Mystic Mind*, showcase their knack for merging intricate arrangements with raw spontaneity, while tributes like *Miles Smiles | Wayne Shines* nod to jazz legends with fresh twists. Whether flexing their orchestral muscle in concert halls (like the intimate *LIVE au Gesù* recording) or exploring themes of unity on *Equal = Orchestra*, ONJ Montréal keeps jazz alive, unpredictable, and deeply connected to Montreal’s eclectic creative spirit.
