Jean-Nicolas Trottier’s Trio, Acid Bunny, is a contemporary jazz trio formed in 2013 by trombone player, composer, and arranger, Jean-Nicolas Trottier, with fellow musicians Rémi-Jean Leblanc on bass and Richard Irwin on drums.  Since then, the group has performed at various venues and jazz festivals including the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Off Festival de Jazz de Montréal, and the Queretaro Jazz Festival in Mexico. Their first record entitled Acid Bunny came out in September 2014 on Effendi Records.  With compositional styles going from swing to rock, Trottier’s original compositions brings the audience to a universe where free improvisation and formal structures overlap, resulting in a surprising and highly inventive
musical context.
