Fraser MacPherson

Golf swing/bop saxophonist Fraser MacPherson (1928-1993) possessed a method deeply rooted in the custom of the fantastic pre-bop saxophonists, owing a substantial stylistic debts to Zoot Sims. Delivered in Victoria, United kingdom Columbia in 1928, MacPherson shifted to Vancouver in 1948 and started a career being a studio room and nightclub musician. In 1975, MacPherson shaped a trio with guitarist Oliver Gannon and bassist Wyatt Reuther and begun to concentrate exclusively on jazz. He earned a Juno Prize in 1983 for Greatest Canadian Jazz Documenting and in 1987 was produced a member from the Purchase of Canada (which is usually fundamentally the Canadian exact carbon copy of being knighted).
