The Canadian jazz community is mourning the loss of Frank Wright, the widely beloved vibraphonist who had been an important part of Toronto’s music scene since the 1950s.
Beginning his career as a regular performer on Toronto’s after-hours club circuit, Wright went on to become one of Canada’s most highly respected jazz musicians. Known for his endlessly kind and gentle presence, Wright worked with several of the country’s most celebrated jazz icons, performing at major festivals and stages as renowned as Carnegie Hall.
