Rooted in the jazz tradition but drawing influences from all over the map, Josh Warren is an award-winning Canadian bassist, composer, and arranger originally hailing from Victoria, BC. Since moving to Toronto to study with Canada’s finest, he’s shared the stage and recorded with a plethora of Grammy-nominated and JUNO award-winning musicians (including Ingrid Jensen, Jeremy Ledbetter, Rich Brown, Allison Au, and Joaquin Nunez) and performed all across the country, playing at iconic venues and major festivals from coast to coast.
Hailed as “one of the most assured and musically satisfying debut albums to emerge from the Canadian jazz scene in years” (Frankie Pfeiffer, Paris Move), Josh’s debut album “The Path” features an award-winning cast of young lions on the Canadian jazz scene, and blends the jazz tradition with shades of Pat Metheny, Stevie Wonder and Snarky Puppy. Eclectic, groove-oriented and interactive, this record is a musical coming-of-age, with the core idea of “The Path” representing the journey of growing into who you’re meant to be.
Fresh off his Canadian album release tour (starting in Toronto and ending all the way in BC!), come catch Josh at Dina’s playing a mix of music from the album and new material, with a lineup of some of Canada’s best young musicians: James Griffith (Sax), Evan Miles (Piano), and Matteo Romaniello (drums)!
