Denny Christianson, the jazz musician and educator who appeared on more than 250 albums and inspired generations of Canadian jazz students along the way through his work at Humber College, has died at the age of 78.
Rising to prominence as the leader of the 18-piece Denny Christianson Big Band in Montreal in 1981, Christianson was a widely acclaimed trumpeter, flugelhornist, arranger, composer, conductor and bandleader with a career that lasted several decades.
In 2001, Christianson became the director of music studies at Humber College in Toronto, where he made a lasting impression on the past, present and future of jazz in Canada. He retired in 2018.

Alongside this newspaper s Every Child Online campaign, many others are pitching in with schemes to ensure every child has access to online learning.
An estimated 6,000 in the county are currently without a digital device to complete online learning, with 1,000 families believed to have no way at all to connect to the internet.
Mike Downes of Aylsham Rotary Club, who is also vice chair of Aylsham Learning Federation, has been raising funds and collecting equipment for students at schools in Aylsham, but he is now urging people to support our campaign after becoming overwhelmed with donations.

An urgent appeal for laptops and tablets so more school children can learn at home during the latest lockdown has netted about 30 donations in its first 24 hours.
Mike Downes, who is co-ordinating the Rotary Club of Aylsham appeal, said he was delighted that so many people had already agreed to give up their unwanted technology.
Mr Downes said: It has been absolutely amazing. I think when a lot of people get a new laptop they don t know what to do with their old one, so it s wonderful to see.
