Grand laureate of the 2020-2021 Radio-Canada Jazz Revelation title, Carl Mayotte is now one of the most popular young bassists and jazzmen in Quebec and Canada. Having started his professional career at the age of 16 and completed a master's degree in jazz performance at McGill University, his virtuosity and versatility have been noticed by several musicians and critics from Alain Caron to the Bass Magazine. He has just released his third album, Escale, which won him a Félix award (the equivalent of the Grammy awards in Quebec) for jazz album of the year in 2022. In addition, he creates, in the summer of 2022, a new jazz music camp at Kamouraska, bringing together musicians of all ages and levels. One of the goals of this young musician is to democratize jazz and bring this musical genre back to the fore.
