Damian Nisenson

NoZen is a jazz quartet based in Montreal, QC. Their original music, both instrumental and vocal, is at the crossroads of contemporary jazz, the melodic traditions of Jewish Eastern Europe, and the rhythmic influence of Argentinean music. This meeting of contrasting styles gives birth to music that is both spontaneous and deep. Tanguay, Falaise, and Mailloux, three of the most active musicians on the jazz and musique actuelle scene in Quebec, joined the composer, multi-saxophonist, and singer from Argentina, Damian Nisenson. Together, they offer us Nisenson's compositions, an invitation to travel between two worlds: the melodies inspired by a vanished past, dressed up in a very contemporary outfit.
