Christyine Jensen 
USF Jazz Ensemble 1

Montreal-based saxophonist, composer and conductor Christine Jensen has been described as an 
original voice on the international jazz scene, and as one of Canada’s most compelling composers by 
the Globe and Mail.  The two time Juno award winner currently leads her own jazz orchestra as well 
as diverse small ensemble projects.

"Jensen writes in three dimensions, with a quiet kind of authority that makes the many elements 
cohere. Wayne Shorter, Maria Schneider and Kenny Wheeler come to mind." -Downbeat Magazine.
