Bernard Primeau's talent ripened during the 60's while he worked in Montreal bars with guitarist Nelson Symonds who initiated him into the world of jazz. The following decade saw him mainly in San Francisco where he perfected his style in the company of Martha Young. By the end of the 70's, he returned to Montr al and teamed up with Oliver Jones and Charlie Biddle, performing with them until 1984.
