James Braidie Galloway (28 July 1936 – 30 December 2014)[1] was a jazz clarinet and saxophone player. He based his career in Canada after emigrating from Scotland in the mid-1960s.

Early life and education

Galloway was born in Kilwinning, Ayrshire, Scotland.[2] He studied graphic design at the Glasgow School of Fine Arts.[3] He also studied clarinet and alto saxophone, and began playing in local Glasgow venues.[2]

Career

Galloway moved to Toronto in 1964.[3] He worked briefly as a graphic designer, and played in local bands, including the Metro Stompers.[4] He went on tour in Europe and the United States with Buddy Tate in the mid-1970s,[4] and soon after formed the Wee Big Band.

Galloway recorded many jazz albums, both with his own band and in collaboration with other well-known jazz musicians.[2] His album Walking on Air was nominated for Best Jazz Album at the Juno Awards of 1980.

He was a co-founder of the Toronto Jazz Festival, and served as its music director from 1987 to 2009.[5] In 2002 he was made a Chevalier of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.[2]

Galloway died in palliative care in Toronto on 30 December 2014.[6] A documentary film about his life, Jim Galloway: A Journey in Jazz, was aired on TV Ontario in 2018.[7]
