Jim Clayton
Piano
Styles: Jazz
Languages: English
DownBeat Magazine called Jim Clayton’s music “warm, happy, and soulful.” He calls his playing a blend of bebop and New Orleans, the city he considers a second home. His repertoire is a mix of jazz classics, reimagined pop favourites, and his own memorable writing.
Jim’s last two albums landed on the jazz radio charts in both Canada and the USA. He’s won three national awards, and has been heard internationally on radio, in film, and on television (including Dateline NBC, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and MTV).
Jim spent a decade with acclaimed theatre company The Second City, entertaining audiences around the globe, from ex-pats in Asia to our troops in Bosnia. He began streaming nightly performances at the start of Covid lockdowns; the 650+ online shows resulted in30,000 new followers from around the world.
The land we operate on is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat Peoples and is now home to many diverse Indigenous Peoples. We acknowledge the cultural injustices carried out against Indigenous Peoples in Canada, and we recognize that this land acknowledgement is only one step on the part to truth and reconciliation. We aspire to be good guests and respectful settlers in T'karonto, and we offer our respect to this land and its original inhabitants.
