Timeline

1932

Arthur Albert Ellefson (17 April 1932 – 2018) was a Canadian jazz saxophonist who worked in the UK during the 1950s and 1960s.

Having learned trumpet and euphonium as a boy, he began playing tenor saxophone at 16 and began his career with Bobby Gimby in Toronto.

1952

In 1952, he moved to London where he worked with Carl Barriteau, Allan Ganley, Harry Hayes, Ted Heath, Vic Lewis, and Ronnie Ross.

1959

In April 1959, he toured with Woody Herman's Anglo-American Herd and with Maynard Ferguson.

1960

By the early 1960s, he had toured in the US with Vic Lewis and joined the Johnny Dankworth Orchestra.

1968

There was a period of freelance work (including, in October 1968 playing on the track "Savoy Truffle" by The Beatles), before Ellefson left the UK to live in Bermuda and then returned to Canada in 1974.

There he played tenor saxophone with Nimmons 'N' Nine Plus Six for the next three years.

1976

In February 1976, he recorded with the Kenny Wheeler Quintet in Toronto.

1980

In the 1980s, he released two albums under his own name: The Art Ellefson Trio (1981) and The Art Ellefson Quartet featuring Tommy Flanagan.

1988

In 1988, he taught at Malaspina College.

His quartet included Gary Williamson, Ian McDougall, and Dave Piltch.

1992

In 1992, the album As if to Say, credited to Art Ellefson & Jazz Modus, was released on the Sackville label.

According to music writer Jack Batten "his sound seems a direct extension of the old masters... [Coleman] Hawkins and [Ben] Webster and Lucky Thompson, and so is his sing-song lyricism, but the drive and naked passion of his playing comes from later, more beboppy tenor men'.
