About Jon Bentley
Bentley’s official biography identifies him as a Vancouver-based jazz saxophonist with more than thirty years of professional work. It documents studies in saxophone performance at Capilano University and further composition, arranging, and tenor-saxophone study in New York and London.[1]
His official site distinguishes the Jon Bentley Quartet from Waxwing and from extensive sideman work in Vancouver. The current calendar records appearances with multiple local quartets, orchestras, and vocalist-led groups alongside dates under Bentley’s own name.[2][1]
Bentley’s artist Bandcamp documents the quartet releases Motions and Go Ahead! with complete streaming. The site-linked YouTube channel adds leader, ensemble, and educational video from across his saxophone practice.[3][2]
