ABOUT

Since childhood Aaron Z has had an undeniable passion for discovery, creativity, and sound. Manifest as a love of composing, his jazz-rooted compositions incorporate a myriad of sounds, combining elements of World Music, Classical, Rock, and Pop, in coherent, fascinating and beautiful ways. Performing these compositions, Aaron delivers the ultimate expression of his passion, emotion and joy.

His first contact with jazz came early in life - records such as Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, Herbie Hancock's Dis Is da Drum, and the Shuffle Demons Streetnix were frequently heard at home. Playing sax in his highschool jazz band he discovered the incredible freedom in jazz music - through melodic improvisation and a boundless pallet of harmonic colours. Aaron went on to study jazz performance at Toronto's York University, where his primary influence was Canadian saxophonist Mike Murley. Studying with Murley instilled in him a high regard for melody and lyricism in his improvisation and composition. While at York he also studied with saxophonist Kelly Jefferson, trumpeter Kevin Turcotte, and guitarist Lorne Lofsky. Aaron's love of composition and harmony drew him to the piano as his main musical voice, and he has taken lessons with award-winning pianist and composer Adrean Farrugia.
