Norman Marshall Villeneuve was one of Canada’s greatest bebop drummers
July 25, 2025
Born and raised in Montreal, Norman Marshall Villeneuve was taught to tap dance by his older brother. As a preteen he studied piano with the great instructor Daisy Peterson-Sweeney, sister of Oscar Peterson. Another legendary jazz pianist, Oliver Jones, was a cousin who, like Mr. Peterson, lived nearby.
The tutoring in the other disciplines notwithstanding, he instead became one of Canada’s greatest bebop drummers.
