He earned a Master of Music degree at the University of Toronto and he is on the faculty there. He recorded solo in 2008. Drummer Ernesto Cervini is also from Toronto. After graduating from the University of Toronto, he studied at the Manhattan School of Music. He became a popular sideman. Since moving back to Toronto, Cervini has joined the faculty of the University of Toronto. Bassist Dan Fortin is from Peterborough. He has become a very successful sideman since moving to Toronto. The three had never played together when they wound up on the same stage in 2010 through substitutions and schedule conflicts. Sine then Myriad3 has recorded four albums for the Canadian label Alma. Donnelly records solo for them. Undertow was written by Donnelly for the 2014 album The Where. The album was nominated for a Juno. Their latest CD Vera was released in 2018. All three guys record as leaders and have other projects. Myriad3 usually tours the jazz festival circuit. So they could turn up at a jazz festival near you.
