SUMMARY:Common Hour: Oscar Peterson Jazz Artist-in-Residence featuring guitarist Rez Abbasi
DESCRIPTION:The Oscar Peterson Jazz Artist-in-Residence program at York University brings renowned jazz musicians to the Department of Music each year for multi-day residencies featuring student workshops, masterclasses, and a culminating public performance.\nAward winning guitarist, Rez Abbasi ( https://www.reztone.com/ ) is featured as part of the Department of Music’s 2026-2027 Oscar Peterson Jazz Artist-in-Residence.\nThe following session is free and open to the public.\nDate: Thursday, February 11\nTime: 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.\nLocation: Tribute Communities Recital Hall\nFree Admission\nREZ ABBASI\nGuitarist, composer, author and 2021 Guggenheim Fellow, Rez Abbasi is among a rare\nbreed of artists that continue to push boundaries from within the traditions he has\nembraced. Consistently placing on DownBeat magazine’s International Critics Poll in\nGuitar alongside luminaries Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny since 2014, Abbasi continues to\nforge new ground with his multi-dimensional projects.\n“Abbasi is living, breathing proof that jazz music can be as vital and boundary-pushing as\never.” AllAboutJazz.com.\nBorn in Karachi, Pakistan, migrating to Southern California at the age of four, schooled\nat the University of Southern California and the Manhattan School of Music in jazz and\nclassical music, along with a pilgrimage in India under the guidance of master\npercussionist, Ustad Alla Rakha, Abbasi is a vivid synthesis of all the above stated\ninfluences and genres.\n“Mr. Abbasi succeeded in making some fairly cerebral intricacies feel intuitive and\ntouched by a higher purpose.” – New York Times\nThe Oscar Peterson Jazz Artist-in-Residence is made possible by a grant from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.\n
