Both have become accomplished jazz musicians and make regular appearances at the Montreal International Jazz Festival as featured artists and as sidemen. For 15 years, Jim recorded and performed around the world as Oliver Jones’ permanent drummer. Jim lives and performs in Montreal; and teaches at McGill and Concordia. Chet lives in Brooklyn, NY, where he is in great demand for recording work. Even though they reside in different cities, the fraternal bond remains strong – even stronger because of their shared love of music.

Accompanied by bassist Adrien Vedady and pianist Marc Copeland, The Doxas Brothers will perform their album The Circle. The recording reflects their musical world, which they have been developing and exploring since their childhood, their years spent in the Montreal jazz scene and their eventual rise to internationally recognized artists. Jim and Chet have become mainstays of the Montreal jazz scene, performing with celebrated artists such as Carla Bley, Dave Douglas, John Abercrombie, Steve Swallow, Joe Lovano and many more.

Jim and Adrian Vedady have been performing on Monday nights for the past ten years at the Upstairs Jazz Bar and have a developed a solid musical foundation of drums and acoustic base; complemented by guest artists on piano, guitar, saxophone and other brass wind instruments.
