The Jays Quartet is a jazz ensemble founded in 2022 by Justin (saxophone), Jeremy (percussion), Jasmine (piano), and Ammon (bass). All avid musicians in high school, they came together to rekindle their passion for the performing arts after the pandemic cut many of their school programs short. They have since performed at a variety of venues and events throughout Ottawa, including the Telfer Celebration of Excellence Gala and the Golden Soiree Gala hosted by the Asian Canadians’ Association.
