Remembering Jerry Granelli (1940-2021)It is with a sad heart that we have been informed of the passing of Jerry Granelli on Tuesday, July 20th, 2021. With a musical career spanning six decades, Jerry Granelli’s influence and artistic and personal impact around the world cannot be overstated. Granelli has been an intrinsic part of The Halifax Jazz Festival (formerly the Atlantic Jazz Festival) since its inception. This festival would not be what it is today, due in part to his passion, commitment and belief in the power of art to change people’s lives and for that we are eternally grateful. Granelli’s commitment and passion can equally be felt through his teachings and educational approach. Jerry established the Creative Music Workshop (CMW) in 1996, alongside Don Palmer and Skip Beckwith, and for over 25 years, the program has been a central component of the Halifax Jazz Festival. Due to Granelli’s one of a kind teaching method, the program has drawn students from across the globe to the two week intensive program. From the CMW and beyond, Granelli has had a profound influence on students and the broader community, and countless many have gone on to become professional artists, educators and creatives, worldwide. Jerry Granelli was truly inspirational, and always continuing to work on and push his creative process and exploring new ideas. Halifax Jazz Festival is holding Jerry’s family and friends in our hearts and minds, and will continue to honour and celebrate and carry-on his legacy.Thank you for everything Jerry.
