The greatest players in the world already know Jeremy Green. Mike Stern knows. So do Will Lee, Keith Carlock, Oz Noy, Tim Lefebvre and Jimmy Haslip, all of whom lined up to play on his new album. The charts know too. Now it’s time for the rest of Canada to discover what they’ve heard.
‘In Motion,’ the second full length album from the Toronto guitarist, composer and producer, has hit #1 on the Roots Music Report Jazz Fusion chart and #3 on its overall Jazz chart, earning critical praise for its energy, musicianship and “improv forward” spirit. Led by the single “The 55,” it’s a thrilling, groove packed instrumental record that turns contemporary fusion into storytelling, tracing a personal map of return, memory, place, family, pressure, joy and loss across eight original compositions. Fans can hear it live when Green plays Toronto’s Jazz Bistro on November 14.
That makes two #1 albums in a row. His 2021 debut, ‘Standing Eight,’ topped the Roots Music Report Top 50 Fusion Albums chart, reached #5 on its Top 50 Jazz Albums chart, landed on JazzWeek’s Most Added list and was named one of the Top 10 Jazz/Prog Rock records of 2021 by Sea of Tranquility. His music has been played on JazzFM in Canada and on radio around the world, and he’s been featured in Guitar Player magazine.
