FOG is Toronto-based composer and trumpeter Rebecca Hennessy's tribute to New Orleans blending celebratory brass band arrangements with the modern jazz intricacy. As a leader and co-leader, Hennessy has released seven albums, toured worldwide and recorded/ performed alongside everyone from Adele to Ab Baars. Fog's frontline positions her between Jay Burr on tuba, and Tom Richards on trombone. Their bold hues are anchored by Don Scott's energetic electric guitar, Tania Gill's unmistakable pianism and drummer Nico Dann's sturdy but pliable time. Since 2014 the band has been showcasing their unique, circuitous journey back to jazz's origin, with detours through funky blues, old-timey country, Balkan folk and even raucous fusion. Along the way they've gathered nominations for the TD Grand Prix De Jazz at the Montreal Jazz Festival and the TD Halifax Jazz Festival's Singray Rising Star Award.
