Robin Ranger didn’t set out to be a jazz musician. While walking the streets of Toronto in his early- 20s, he heard a guitar-playing busker hit a chord that captivated his ears: the B-flat minor 6. He went back to his guitar and experimented with the sound. He added seventh, ninth, and major- seventh chords and, quite by accident, his sound was born. His deep, soulful voice tells a uniquely northern jazz story that the TBSO is thrilled to share.
