There were a lot of canadian jazz musicians in four piece groups in
the fifties. Could you be more specific please? Do you have a
particular group/album/piece of music in mind?

the person who asked me has a general non specific interest in
music....my thought is they would belong to the most famous (popular)
group around at the time

I think it is safe to say that the most famous and prolific Canadian
jazz musician during the 50s was pianist Oscar Peterson.  Although he
normally performed solo or with a trio, he occasionally worked with a
quartet.  If he is the musician you are looking for, I will recast
this comment as an answer.

Here's information on Peterson from the AMG All Music Guide:

I hope this helps.
