Grand laureate of the 2020-2021 Radio-Canada Jazz Revelation title, Carl Mayotte is now one of the most popular bassists and jazzmen in Quebec and Canada. Having started his professional career at the age of 16 and completed a master's degree in jazz performance at McGill University, his virtuosity and versatility have been noticed by several musicians and critics from Alain Caron to the Bass Magazine. His third album, Escale, won him a Félix award for jazz album of the year in 2022. He just released a new album name Carnaval, which is a tribute to his passion for Brazilian and Latin music. This new opus has received the title album of the year at the GAMIQ.
