The Avi Granite 6 releases their latest studio album, Operator. Operator explores themes of perseverance, connectivity, and communication through a dynamic blend of composed and improvised music.
The band's unity and sensitivity shine through, taking listeners on a journey from the energetic "Crushing Beans" to the soaring ballad "My Sunken Ship," and from the funky "Ubiquitous Miles" to the intense "The Long Tomorrow."
You can hear Operator on streaming services and can support the group by buying the digital album on bandcamp. A few copies of the audiophile vinyl recording are available to collectors. Inquire at pe$

“If ever there was a launchpad to immerse
oneself in Canada’s creative jazz and vibrant
scene, Toronto guitarist and composer Avi
Granite is the ideal place to start... The results
are truly a revelation...”
- JazzTimes Magazine
“The sextet comes together to offer a gorgeous evocation of Granite's music... a thoughtful composer with exceptional resourcefulness and imagination.”
- The WholeNote Magazine
Brooklyn based Canadian guitarist/composer Granite goes to those special places full of surprise and delight. These tunes are hard to put on a finger on. Like Zappa, the changes are all fucked up and perfect at the same time.
