Realism in Music
Verismo was formed in 2001 as collaboration between saxophonists Jeremy Brown and Pat Belliveau to explore new original compositions and performance opportunities and to create artistic growth and energy.
The word on the Calgary jazz scene is Verismo, the elite quintet
founded by saxophonists Pat Belliveau and Jeremy Brown, and filled out
by bassist John Hyde, pianist Derek Stoll and drummer John De Wall. The
modern jazz and hard bop on their self-titled debut was hailed across
Canada for its originality, cohesiveness, virtuosity and the brilliance
of pieces like “Trojan Horse” and “Winter”. A fresh chinook blows out
of the West!
