Selena Savage Septet, large jazz ensemble

Formed in April 2025, the Selena Savage Septet has developed an unmistakeable

sonic identity, featuring complex arrangements, lush harmonies, and a tight, unified

sound.

Alongside honouring the groups’ Canadian influences, Selena’s arrangements and

compositions draw from the tradition of Big Band/large ensemble writing pioneered by

musicians such as Sammy Nestico, Count Basie, Art Blakey, and Gil Evans.

The Selena Savage Septet performs regularly in Toronto. You can catch them playing at

The Rex, the Jazz Bistro, and the Emmet Ray.
