Drummer and composer Ethan Ardelli has been one of Canada’s most acclaimed jazz musicians for more than a decade. Always a cultural omnivore, Ardelli has sought out inspiration in a wide variety of places, from foreign and experimental films to classical composition from around the world, in particular the music of Cuba.
His debut album, "The Island of Form," is a showcase for Ardelli’s highly developed compositional skills and drumming prowess. The album was recorded by James Farber, the engineer behind many touchstone jazz recordings, including works by Michael Brecker, Joe Lovano, and Brad Mehldau.

An accomplished singer, Todd Martin has been fronting the Dirty Catfish Brass Band for the past six years, as well as performing regularly with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and the Ron Paley Big Band. In October of 2018, Martin assumed the role of chansonnier in the Winnipeg premiere of Frankenstein!!, a pan-demonium for chansonnier and orchestra.
RAW:JazzFest is made possible with the support of Michael Nesbitt.
