PHIL DWYER

Phil Dwyer burst on the jazz scene in Canada, and internationally, in his late teens as a saxophone prodigy. He studied with Steve Grossman and David Liebman. He also played at the Bottom Line nightclub with Kenny Barron, Buster Williams, Lenny White and Steve Grossman, as well as at the Willow in Boston with Terri Lyne Carrington.

In 2013 Dwyer was appointed as a Member of the Order Of Canada, in recognition of an illustrious 30-year career that has crossed stylistic and geographic borders and has included collaborations with a storied roster of great musical artists.
