History
The Jeff Johnston Trio played its first show in 1983; that year the trio participated in the first Newfoundland Sound Symposium.[3]
The band's album Nuage, recorded in 2001, was nominated for a Juno Award as "Best Contemporary Jazz Instrumental".[4][5]
In 2013 the group released its fifth recording, Returning, featuring jazz in the style of 1970s and 1980s European pianists.
Johnston has relocated to Montreal, where he has brought together a new group, still called the Jeff Johnston Trio, with bassist Fraser Hollins, and drummer Rich Irwin.[6]
