Michael-Paul Gurulé is a saxophonist, composer and conductor based in Montréal, Québec.
When I first heard the heartbeat of Hot Club of France, I knew I had found my music.
Michael performs jazz for people who are inspired by mixing traditional and contemporary ideas. Inviting people to listen with their hearts and with their feet, he believes that music should bring people together and through the music share all lived truths through power of rhythm. With a singing tradition based on the emotional depths of French chanson to the mid-century magic of hard-bop, Michael mixes several styles into his brand of Jazz Manouche.
