Swing/bop saxophonist Fraser MacPherson (1928-1993) possessed a style deeply rooted in the tradition of the great pre-bop saxophonists, owing a significant stylistic debt to Zoot Sims. Born in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1928, MacPherson moved to Vancouver in 1948 and began a career as a studio and night club musician. In 1975, MacPherson formed a trio with guitarist Oliver Gannon and bassist Wyatt Reuther and began to focus solely on jazz. He won a Juno Award in 1983 for Best Canadian Jazz recording and in 1987 was made a member of the Order of Canada (which is fundamentally the Canadian equivalent of being knighted.) ~ Dan Cross, All Music Guide
