“Cherished Possessions” CD Release

Steve Boudreau is an Ottawa-based Canadian jazz pianist who has toured North America and parts of Europe as both a performer and an educator.

After receiving a Canada Council for the Arts grant to produce a five-volume solo piano recording project from home in 2020, Steve’s next step was to go back into the studio and record in his format of choice – the piano trio. “Cherished Possessions” is his first trio album featuring primarily original music. In October 2021, Steve traveled to Montreal to record with two of its top jazz musicians, bassist Adrian Vedady and drummer Jim Doxas. The interactive piano trio playing continues in the footsteps of such jazz luminaries as Keith Jarrett, Brad Mehldau as well as Fred Hersch and Danilo Perez who Boudreau studied with at the New England Conservatory in 2008.

Based in Canada’s capital, Steve Boudreau is in demand as both a leader and bandmate, and has appeared at various international theatres and jazz festivals. His most recent releases include the aforementioned five volume solo piano set, a quartet album co-led with guitarist Garry Elliott, and a trio album featuring a unique look at the music of George Gershwin.

“Cherished Possessions” is available now on most music platforms.
