Jonah Cristall-Clarke (arranger, bandleader, pianist) started taking
piano lessons at age seven in 1990, while living in Peterborough. He
began to focus intensively on jazz when he and two friends formed a
trio in 1999. After being honoured with multiple music and arts
scholarships at his high school graduation, Jonah went on to earn a
Bachelor of Music degree specializing in Jazz Performance at the
University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music. There he was
awarded the Margaret E. Read Jazz Scholarship, the Music Alumni
Award, and the Don Wright Scholarship for arranging. He has had the
fortune of studying privately with jazz pianists David Restivo, Gary
Williamson, and David Braid, as well as taking part in Terry
Promane’s Jazz Arranging class, which was pivotal in Jonah’s
musical growth. With performing experience ranging from restaurants
to concert halls, some of Jonah’s notable performances
include two appearances at the Ottawa Jazz Festival, four times at
the Lakefield Jazz Festival, three times at the Peterborough
Downtown Jazz in Restaurants Tour, as well as the Toronto Jazz
Festival, the Peterborough Jazz Festival, the Markham Jazz Festival,
the Barrie Jazz Festival, Roy Thomson Hall, and with U of T Jazz
Ensembles at the Rex Jazz and Blues Bar and the Ontario Science
Centre (a concert recorded for Jazz FM Radio). As well as performing
regularly with jazz combos, Jonah currently leads a nine-piece band
that showcases his own arrangements of standards and jazz
compositions. The Jonah Cristall-Clarke Nonet made its premier
performance at the Distillery Jazz Festival in the spring of 2005
