Philippe Massé, double bass player, composer and performer, is part of the new wave of Canadian jazz musicians.
 

A Montreal jazz bassist and composer, he incorporates elements of Middle Eastern, Latin and sometimes metal music, which creates his unique style.

Philippe studied at Cégep Marie-Victorin and the Université de Montréal, where he was trained by Pierre-Alexandre Maranda, Sébastien Pellerin and Frédéric Alarie. In 2020, Philippe founded his trio with the aim of pushing the boundaries of modern Western jazz by incorporating elements of Eastern music to create a unique music that is close to his idols.

It was only in 2023 that he founded the final formation of his trio with Sacha Desjardins on piano and Alexandre Massé on drums, from which his first album, to be released in 2025, Le vent, was born.

Philippe Massé has performed numerous times on the Montreal jazz scene: Place des Arts, Dièse Onze and various clubs across Quebec.

His playing is inspired by Avishai Cohen, Dhafer Youssef, Petros Klampanis and Larry Grenadier. Very passionate with his audience, he captivates the audience with his emotion, his calm and at the same time with his fiery energy on stage.
