THE BOB BROUGH QUARTET
2.00

TICKETS

Bob Brough, one of Toronto’s most powerful tenor saxophonists, has been a highlight on the  Toronto jazz scene since 1969. He first came to prominence with Time Warp in the early 1980’s  with his solid tone and deep blues influences. His style ventures to soulful Coltrane-inspired  tenor playing and can also step outside to play magnificently in free and experimental jazz  contexts. Bob leads his own quartet and has also played with everyone of note on the Toronto  Jazz scene including Tenor Madness, Richard Underhill, Bill King’s Saturday Night Fish Fry,  The Wayne Gilpin Singers, Jim Galloway, The Jive Bombers, and with visiting international  stars such as Natalie Cole, Tony Bennett and Gladys Knight. 

The Bob Brough Quartet opened for The Herbie Hancock All Star Band on Opening Day at the  2004 Ottawa International Jazz. Bob's recordings can be heard frequently on Canadian and  international radio stations. 

Bob continues to excite and amaze audiences with his big rich tone and deeply emotional  interpretations of standard and original compositions. He is a major player in a number of busy  local Toronto ensembles. The Barbara Jordan Swing Septet, The Peter Hill Quintet, The Jive  Bombers, The George Koller Quartet, The Laura Hubert Band, The Greg Pilo Quartet, and the  annual Christmas concert with The Wayne Gilpin Singers, are just some of the established  groups and organizations for which Bob Brough fans can experience his unique and passionate  style of jazz and blues. 

On December 3rd 2023, Bob was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award from The  Toronto Musicians Association.
