Saxophonist, clarinetist and flautist André Leroux is equally at ease performing jazz, classical, pop and new music.
His career started to take off in the mid-1980s when he played with several well-known ensembles including the Vic Vogel Band. Though strongly influenced by the legendary John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, Leroux quickly developed a style and sound of his own-unpretentious, hot, energetic and explosive. Acknowledged as one of Canada's leading saxophonists, he is a master at exploring the many capabilities of his instrument.
Andre has appeared at the Yardbird Suite on numerous occasions with François Bourassa. He also works extensively with pianist James Gelfand. His first album "Corpus callosum" was released in 2009.
