SOLD OUT! Jazz @ The Gasworks Presents: Denzal Sinclaire & Friends

Toronto-born vocalist/pianist/composer, Denzal Sinclaire has earned his reputation as Canada's most popular male jazz vocalist.

Denzal's vocal timbre is similar to some of the great singers. Nat King Cole, Johnny Hartman and there are even glimpses of Johnny Mathis' jazz days. However, Denzal does have what every artist strives for. After singing just a few notes you know it is him. His trademark is the joyfulness in his voice and a special approach to phrasing a lyric or pushing or laying back on a beat. He is blessed with exquisite delivery, sensitivity to melody and a lyrical imagination. For Denzal,singing is as natural as breathing.

A multiple Juno Award nominee, and recipient of the 2004 National Jazz Award for "Best Album", he has graced the stages of numerous high-profile jazz festivals, performed with symphony orchestras, and starred in his own one hour television special for BRAVO! In 2005, Denzal was inducted into the British Columbia Entertainment Hall of
Fame.

Among Denzal's admirers are Diana Krall, who was introduced to Denzal at the 1995 Jazz Winnipeg Festival and Diane Reeves, who became a fan after Denzal opened for her at the 2002 Vancouver International Jazz Festival.
