SUMMARY:Ariane Racicot: 'Danser avec le feu' Album Release!
DESCRIPTION:Doors @ 7; show @ 8 \n\n\n\nAriane Racicot – Piano\, CompositionsAntoine Rochefort – Electric BassGuillaume Picard – Drums \n\n\n\nAriane Racicot – winner of the 2022-2023 Révélation Radio-Canada prize for jazz – announces her second album Danser avec le feu (‘Dancing With Fire.’) With passion and intensity\, the Montreal pianist continues to explore her hybrid mix of jazz fusion\, Latin music\, metal\, classical and progressive rock. For fans of Tigran Hamasyan\, Hiromi Uehara and Avishai Cohen\, Racicot’s music will feel like home. \n\n\n\nThis album’s eight new pieces place her joie de vivre and her passion for music front and center. With her trusted musical partners Antoine Rochefort and Guillaume Picard by her side\, she tackles a new suite of songs about resilience\, environmental anxiety and the importance of trusting your instincts. \n\n\n\nThe seeds for Danser avec le feu were planted during the tour for Ariane’s first album\, Envolée. As the relationship between the three musicians deepened\, she was inspired to push her concept further\, exploring her unique fusion of genres and the textural possibilities of the combination of acoustic piano and electric bass. Many of the pieces on this recording are through composed from start to finish\, lending the album a pacing and shape that bring to mind the sound of progressive rock. \n\n\n\nDanser avec le feu is ultimately an exploration of language: in terms of sonic texture\, harmonic colour\, and the rhythmic pulse of a number of musical traditions.

SUMMARY:Joel Jeschke 'Time & Place' Album Release Shows!
DESCRIPTION:Holly Sangster – SaxophoneBrett Hansen – GuitarBrendan McGrath – PianoAretha Tillotson – BassJoel Jeschke – Drums\, Compositions \n\n\n\nNovember 28: Yardbird Suite – Edmonton\, ABNovember 29: Loophole Coffee Bar – Calgary\, ABDecember 1: Capitol Music Club – Saskatoon\, SK \n\n\n\nJoel Jeschke is a highly sought-after drummer in both the jazz and rock scenes in Edmonton\, Alberta. Having performed and recorded with countless artists – including rock bands Royal Tusk (MNRK Records) and Whale and the Wolf\, as well as with modern jazz artists Aretha Tillotson\, the Stephanie Urquhart Quartet\, and Brett Hansen – Jeschke now turns his attention to Time & Place\, his debut album as a composer and bandleader. \n\n\n\nThis brilliant new albumis a study in balance: asymmetrical time signatures are gently tempered by a faint but visceral pulse; moments of dissonance are calmed by lonely\, yearning melodies. This record tenderly navigates the borders of a harsh landscape by vacillating between contrasting emotional states – the chaos of a piece like The Number Twelveis balanced by the solemn introspection of Song For When It Rains. \n\n\n\nThese works speak deliberately\, with a desire to be heard and understood. While he wanders\, Jeschke’s musical voice flirts with the unknown in hopes of making a point not yet discovered. \n\n\n\nJeschke’s extensive experience with metal bands\, jazz ensembles\, and even musical theatre productions has enriched the depth and versatility of his musical voice. Time & Place is a stunning debut album from an exciting up and coming Canadian jazz musician: a showcase for bold experimentation by an extraordinary young band.

SUMMARY:Tryptique Album Release!
DESCRIPTION:Fern Lindzon – PianoColleen Allen – Flute\, SaxophonesGeorge Koller – Bass \n\n\n\nTryptique is three kindred spirits with one compelling musical vision that balances the resonance of history with the here-and-now of improvisation. Their music ranges from Baroque to bop to the blues and beyond\, with a particular flair for the work of several wonderful Canadian composers.  \n\n\n\nTryptique is chamber music with a jazz soul. It is a conversation between award winning musicians and close friends Fern Lindzon (piano)\, Colleen Allen (flute\, saxophones) and George Koller (bass). It is about exploration\, taking chances\, and following refined musical intuition to create a unique sound entirely Tryptique’s own. \n\n\n\nTryptique derives its name from the visual art world (triptych) meaning either three works intended to be shown together\, or a single work of art divided into three. The three works together form a whole which is greater than the sum of its parts.

SUMMARY:Sahara von Hattenberger: 'IQ84' Album Release!
DESCRIPTION:Sahara von Hattenberger – CelloJoanne Kang – PianoAdrian Vedady – BassJim Doxas – Drums \n\n\n\nFans of Japanese literature may recognize the title of Montreal cellist Sahara von Hattenberger’s new album as having been borrowed from acclaimed author Haruki Murakami’s most famous fantasy novel\, 1Q84. The story begins in 1984 and follows a young woman named Aomame as she travels to a parallel universe – one almost identical to our own\, except for a few eerie differences. She calls this parallel reality 1Q84 (‘Q’ is pronounced Kyuu\, the same way that the number 9 is pronounced in Japanese.) \n\n\n\nThe year 1984 also sees the completion of composer Claude Bolling’s Suite for Cello and Jazz Piano Trio – and whether it was his intention or not\, this new music acted as an antidote for the angst of the era. Massive inflation\, the AIDS epidemic\, financial unrest\, an overwhelming fear and obsession with technology – these all loomed large in the zeitgeist. Von Hattenberger’s bold re-imagining of this famous crossover suite maintains the same sense of overwhelming joy and wit as the original. The Bolling Suite – over an hour in length\, in 6 movements— is what comprises the first CD of this ambitious double album. \n\n\n\nThe second disc represents the 1Q84 of this project. Composed in the ‘alternate reality ‘of 2024\, where we’re experiencing an entirely different pandemic\, inflation is as high as it was 40 years ago\, and the threat of AI is suddenly omnipresent. (It shouldn’t be surprising that mullets have come back into fashion…) 2024 feels a lot like 1984 – reminding us of Aomame’s parallel reality in Murakami’s tale. In that spirit\, the record’s second disc is a beautiful collection of newly commissioned pieces that pay homage to the original Bolling suite. Both halves of this record will evoke pure joy for everyone who listens. This album is a welcome respite from the  pressing darkness we often find ourselves in today.

SUMMARY:Calgaréal 'Vanishing Points' Album Release and Listening Party!
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the release of Calgaréal’s first LP “Vanishing Points”! \n\n\n\nThe event will feature a listening of the whole album\, and social mingling with the Calgary based musicians of the group. Bring a yoga mat if you would like to listen lying down! \n\n\n\nCalgaréal is a collective of eight musicians from Montréal and Calgary. Coming from different horizons\, these artists find a common interest in traditional music and improvisation. Their original music presents their conversations in music; conversations between two cities often pictured as wildly different\, conversations between different musical traditions. Playing with elements of traditional music from China\, Quebec\, and different parts of Europe\, they present an assorted original program bouncing between various traditions and experimentation\, with brand new compositions and arrangements. \n\n\n\nAfter launching the collective with shows in Calgary in Montreal in 2022\, they have released a live EP and are releasing a studio LP in the Fall of 2024. \n\n\n\nFrom Calgary: FOONYAP (vocal\, violin)\, Jeremy Gignoux (violin\, viola)\, Jiajia Li (flutes\, dizi)\, and Robin Tufts (percussion\, drums).  \n\n\n\nFrom Montréal: Aurélien Tomasi (clarinet\, saxophones)\, Hugo Blouin (double bass)\, Mathieu Langlois (guitarra flamenca\, saxophones)\, and Sébastien Leblanc (guitars\, cobza\, caval\, tilinca).

SUMMARY:Teri Parker's Free Spirits - 'Peaks and Valleys' Album Release!
DESCRIPTION:Allison Au – Alto SaxAlison Young – Alto Sax\, VoiceRebecca Hennessy – Trumpet\, VoiceTeri Parker – PianoLauren Falls – Upright & Electric BassMackenzie Longpre – Drums \n\n\n\nFormed in 2019\, Free Spirits – led by pianist/composer Teri Parker – was originally conceived as a tribute to the talents of legendary jazz pianists Mary Lou Williams (1910-1981) and Geri Allen (1957-2017). On October 4th\, 2024\, the groupreleases their debut album Peaks and Valleys on Modica Music. Peaks and Valleys features songs from Williams\, Allen\, and a brand-new five-song suite\, Peaks and Valleys\, written by Parker.  \n\n\n\nCaptured at Toronto’s incredible Revolution Recording studio\, Peaks and Valleys was recorded after a residency at Toronto’s Rex Hotel\, and has all of the energy and nuanced interplay one would expect from some of Canada’s best musicians. Parker – who plays piano and\, on one track\, recites spoken word poetry – is joined by Allison Au on alto saxophone\, Alison Young on alto saxophone and voice\, Rebecca Hennessy on trumpet and voice\, Lauren Falls on upright and electric bass\, Mackenzie Longpre on drums\, and percussionist Mario Allende. Peaks and Valleys is produced by Parker and leading Canadian bassist Dan Fortin\, and is made possible through grants from both the Toronto Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council. \n\n\n\nAn active member of the Canadian music scene\, Parker has played in the Alex Dean Quartet\, the Parker Abbot Trio\, the John Pittman Quartet\, the Parker-Wilson Duo\, and the Radiohead tribute band Idioteque. In 2021\, Parker completed an MA in Composition at York University\, where she studied with Randolph Peters\, Stephanie Martin\, and Noam Lemish. Parker has also studied independently with world-renowned artists in New York and Europe\, including Sophia Rosoff\, Aaron Goldberg\, Guillermo Klein\, Fred Hersch\, and Enrico Pieranunzi. \n\n\n\nWhether performing Parker’s originals or songs from Allen and Williams\, the group has a playful\, soulful sound all its own\, a deep chemistry that has developed over years of performances\, rehearsals\, and recordings. As an album\, Peaks and Valleys pays tribute to Allen and Williams not just by playing their songs\, but – most importantly – by continuing their legacy of musical excellence\, artistic innovation\, and shared joy.

SUMMARY:Ruth Saphir "Accolades of Time" Album Release Concert
DESCRIPTION:Ruth Saphir – vocals & fluteKate Wyatt – pianoSummer Kodama – bassIvan – Bramford – drumsGenevieve Gauthier – sax \n\n\n\nPart of the Orchard of Pomegranates soirée at Café la Ligne Verte \n\n\n\nOn this\, her fifth album\, Ruth Saphir ventures into profound internal conversations with her ancestors\, with an imagined child\, with broken loves. We are invited to journey inward with her\, stepping through the Accolades of Time\, in a beautifully crafted book of songs. Saphir navigates the deep oceans of time\, in a journey of self-exploration that is both personal and universal. In these compositions she harmonizes the tangible and the imagined\, as the dream\, the nightmare and the awakened reality all resonate. \n\n\n\nThe album opens with Ancestral Shadows\, inviting us to embrace the shadows we carry throughout our lives\, followed by the lyrical question: “Where Do Dreams Go?”— dreams being the safe space to escape the grief and sorrows of waking life. Saphir\, the daughter of Holocaust survivors\, gives voice to her shadows and dreams with grace\, humour and sensuality. The album closes with the title track\, Accolades of Time\, asking “Could we step onto a stage / Into the spotlight\, into the limelight / Through the Accolades of Time?” In this album\, Saphir does just that\, putting her heart vulnerably in the spotlight\, inviting us to hear our own stories within hers.  \n\n\n\nWhen Saphir writes “If you really want the rhythm\, find it in your body\,” she knows what she is talking about. For over 25 years\, she’s has been a music therapist and sound healer\, working with adults and youths to address their physical\, emotional and spiritual challenges. This extensive experience informs her holistic approach to music. “Composing and improvising sustain and nurture my creative soul” she says. Her voice adds a heart-felt\, full bodied dimension to every song and her flute solos are like the fluttering of a bird’s wing\, soaring high.

SUMMARY:Marie Goudy's Paloma Sky: 'Hold On To Me' Album Release!
DESCRIPTION:Marie Goudy – Trumpet\, VoiceJocelyn Barth – VoiceStu Harrison – PianoNick Arsenault – Bass\, VoiceAndrew Scott – Drums\, Voice \n\n\n\nFeaturing Alison Young – Alto Sax (10)Produced by Elizabeth Shepherd \n\n\n\nHold On to Me is the debut full-length album by Toronto jazz-pop quintet Paloma Sky. It features ten tracks composed and arranged by bandleader and trumpet player Marie Goudy\,  and showcases the sensational voice of lead singer Jocelyn Barth. The music traverses a wide range of jazz sub-genres\, from Latin to soul to swing\, but the common thread is a strong foundation of catchy melodies and rich grooves. The album delves into themes of love\, passion\, and triumph. Even the songs that address themes of loneliness and heartbreak  are infused with positive energy as Goudy finds the beauty in the pain. \n\n\n\nGoudy’s main compositional influences are Stevie Wonder\, Maria Schneider\, and Kenny Wheeler. She approaches writing music as though she were writing a novel: establishing a harmonic and melodic ‘setting’ that the listener can immerse themselves in\, and using unexpected harmonic shifts as ‘plot twists’ that delight the ear\, ultimately culminating in a narrative climax. \n\n\n\nMarie Goudy’s fiery trumpet solos are a standout feature of the album\, adding an energetic spark and dynamic range to each piece. Paloma Skyconsists of vocalist Jocelyn Barth\, trumpet player Marie Goudy\, pianist Stu Harrison\, bassist Nick Arseneau\, and drummer Andrew Scott. Four out of the five musicians are accomplished vocalists\, and Hold On to Me makes full use of their skills with lush\, four-part vocal harmonies throughout the album. The record is produced by six-time JUNO nominee Elizabeth Shepherd\, whose contribution imparts a pop sensibility to an album that remains firmly rooted in its jazz foundations. \n\n\n\nPaloma Sky’s music is enjoyed by a broad range of audiences. Even listeners who usually shy away from jazz find themselves enthralled with the band’s sound. This album has something for everyone\, whether they’re a die-hard jazz fan or completely new to the genre.

SUMMARY:Jake Noble 'Letting Go of a Dream' Album Release!
DESCRIPTION:Autumn Dominguez – Alto SaxophoneMike Clement – GuitarSeth Collins – PianoJake Noble – Bass\, CompositionsTanner Guss – Drums  \n\n\n\nJake Noble is a bassist and composer based in New Orleans\, where he is well known as both a bandleader and in-demand sideman. His debut album Letting Go of a Dream was initially conceived as a platform to honor his greatest musical influences: Bill Evans\, Charlie Haden\, and Kenny Garrett. Early on in the writing process though\, a more complete vision for the album began to emerge. “As I began writing this music\, I realized that I wanted to convey the story of my own journey of self-discovery in the midst of our overwhelmingly digitized society.”  \n\n\n\nEach piece on the album represents a step forward on the journey towards self-acceptance. What Could Have Been – inspired by the Bill Evans composition Time Remembered – conveys a sense of vulnerability with its broken time feel and unexpected  harmonic cadences. Acceptance of the Journey is the most involved composition on the album\, featuring several stylistic changes throughout the piece. This song is about dealing with the sudden changes life sometimes throws your way when you least expect it. “I like to think about how we go about living our lives with everything going according to plan and then – bam – all of a sudden something or someone comes into our life and changes its trajectory in a single moment.” Noble wrote Farewell to the Kid from Spring with an intimate bass and piano duo in mind. “This piece is about longing for simpler times in the Arkansas wilderness\, away from my current noisy city life.” Throughout the tune the chemistry between Noble and Collins is apparent\, as they conjure a dream-like state together. \n\n\n\nLetting Go of a Dream represents the next stage of Noble’s search for authenticity as both a bassist and composer. Itis an exciting musical statement by a fine up and coming New Orleans musician.

SUMMARY:Christopher Parnis - 'Everything You Could Be' Album Release!
DESCRIPTION:Christian Antonacci – Trumpet & FlugelhornMatt Greenwood – Electric GuitarBrian Dickinson – PianoChristopher Parnis – Double BassAaron Blewett – Drum Set \n\n\n\nFor several years now\, bassist Christopher Parnis has been making a name for himself on the Canadian jazz scene as both an elevating sideman and a driven bandleader. In 2019\, he began assembling a quintet of his own to develop and perform his original music. He started with his oldest musical colleague\, fellow Peterborough\, Ontario born musician Aaron Blewett on drums. He then added Zimbabwean guitarist Matt Greenwood\, Toronto-based trumpeter Christian Antonacci\, and acclaimed Canadian pianist and two-time JUNO award winner Brian Dickinson. It is with this band that Christopher recorded his debut album Everything You Could Be\, adynamic  recording that chronicles his journey to Toronto to pursue his art. \n\n\n\nEverything You Could Be finds Parnis and his bandmates playing memorable compositions that move fluidly from cutting-edge modern jazz\, to heartbreaking ballads\, to free improvisation and back again. Augmented by subtle overdubbing\, the band explores soundscapes that are fully acoustic as well as ones far more surreal\, all while maintaining a close connection to their strong Canadian jazz roots. \n\n\n\nInfluences on the album vary broadly. Some will come as no surprise to the listener\, such as the work of Canadian composer and musical innovator Kenny Wheeler. Others are far more eclectic\, including the  mission of the mars rover and the work of horror novelist Clive Barker. These influences\, when combined with Parnis’ commitment to melody above all else\, create a record that Canadian jazz legend Don Thompson describes as “hauntingly beautiful.”

DESCRIPTION:Craig Brenan – TromboneJim Brenan – Tenor & Soprano SaxophonesDavid Lavoie – TrumpetSean Craig – Alto & Baritone SaxophonesEarl MacDonald – PianoJon Wielebnowski – BassAfo Fapujuwo – Drums \n\n\n\nImagine: ten-year-old twin brothers Jim and Craig\, standing nervously in the doorway of the Palms Cafe in Edmonton on a warm summer night in 1979. Their dad has taken them to their first concert featuring the instruments that they’re hoping to play when they enter junior high in the fall. Neither has any idea what they’re about to experience\, but the excitement in the room speaks volumes: they’re in for something special. “All I recall is the sheer force of the trumpet and the incredible speed and energy that the band performed with\,”recalls Jim. The band was trumpet legend Woody Shaw’s quintet: a group that would forever imprint itself on the Brenan Brothers.

SUMMARY:Natasha Blackwood 'Love Songs for Good Machines' Album Release at the Majestic!
DESCRIPTION:Newfoundland vocalist and saxophonist Natasha Blackwood’s Love Songs for Good Machines is a jazz album with pop sensibilities rooted in modern-day folk storytelling. These songs are love letters to the working class\, addressing themes of labour\, love and resilience. They are sharp and witty\, tongue-in-cheek\, and rich with subtle Newfoundlandia. They bring to mind the work of Joni Mitchell at mid-career: these are songs that bend notions of genres and take risks\, with soaring melodies and thoughtful stories framed by arrangements that sound both complex and effortless at once. \n\n\n\n“Good machine” is a term used in Newfoundland for something that lasts a long time. It might break down\, but it never wears out: it ‘takes a lickin’ but keeps on tickin.’ With this new album\, Blackwood looks at the working-class of her native province in this same light\, exploring how a person is valued for their productivity\, and only celebrated once they are worn out for good. \n\n\n\nThese songs tell stories about the frustration that comes from working hard without getting ahead; about the intense gratitude for love\, family\, and the ability to get by; and the need for validation for being a good worker. This album explores the idea of being enough – in the workplace\, in the home\, and in our relationships. Each song was written by Blackwood for a real person with resilience and grit – terms that are often used to describe the people of Newfoundland\, but not exactly in this context. To hear these kinds of songs and stories within a jazz context is something uniquely refreshing\, ear-bending\, and somehow familiar at the same time.

DESCRIPTION:Four nights at the Rex! June 5\, 6\, 7\, & 8.Sets at 8:30 and 10pm \n\n\n\nSince moving to Montreal in 2010\, saxophonist and composer Tevet Sela has quickly become a prominent figure in Canada’s vibrant jazz scene. His first seven albums – Tevet Sela (2003)\, Coming True (2007)\, Jazz Flute (2010)\, Lying Sun (2014)\, The River (2017)\, Mizmor (2019)\, and Live at The Rex (2023) – received rave reviews. Sela’s latest album Sweet Tears is a deeply personal and emotional album\, one that aims straight for the heart. The album’s rich mosaic of songs address the constantly shifting balance of happiness and sadness in our lives. \n\n\n\nFor over two decades\, Sela has performed at countless international jazz festivals and venues\, and was nominated for both the Montreal International Jazz Festival’s TD Grand Jazz Award and the Prix Opus for Jazz Concert of the Year. \n\n\n\nThe music in Sweet Tears is not of a purist nature. As a musical melting pot\, the album weaves together klezmer and middle-eastern scales\, rhythms\, harmonies\, and inflexions\, mixing them with sounds from the R&B and Latin jazz traditions. \n\n\n\nSongs like Shabbaton and Sweet Tears have lyrical\, hymn-like melodies\, while the bouncy Omaya is anexpression of liberation; joyous and celebratory. In Naked Soul\, Sela’s gorgeous tone evokes the sound of a gospel choir\, while Far Yet Close conjures images of a middle-eastern desert landscape. \n\n\n\nThese meticulously written\, melody-driven compositions\, performed by some of the most sought-after musicians in Canada\, make this album an immediate stand out. Sweet Tears takes the listener on an introspective journey. Its purifying effect will leave you with a long lasting\, soulful mark. Let yourself be touched by it and taken by its charms. \n\n\n\nSweet Tears will be released worldwide on Friday\, June 14th 2024.

SUMMARY:Kari van der Kloot 'Window' Album Release!
DESCRIPTION:Kari van der Kloot’s third album Window draws elements from different genres of music while keeping the spirit of jazz at the forefront. Window is anchored by Kari’s ethereal vocals floating over rich\, earthy layers of flutes and synthesizers\, and nuanced and thoughtful playing by the rhythm section. Featuring ten original compositions (including a setting of a poem by Pablo Neruda)\, the music glides seamlessly between intricately arranged ensemble playing and improvised abandon. Kari has an innate skill for crafting approachable melodies that belie the depth and complexity of her compositions.  \n\n\n\nThis album features a stellar cast of New York based musicians: flautist Elsa Nilsson\, keyboardist Jamie Reynolds\, bassist Gary Wang and drummer Nathan Ellman-Bell. This is an ensemble that has been working together for years\, and it certainly shows. Kari’s longtime rhythm section plays with a masterful level of communication. The addition of flute phenom Elsa Nilsson to the quintet adds a unique and unexpected layer to Kari’s songs. Together\, these five musicians establish an atmosphere of trust and freedom throughout the album. Each musician’s individual voice shines through clearly in each song while they weave a multi-layered musical tapestry together.  \n\n\n\nWith an inquisitive and searching tone\, Kari vulnerably lays it all on the line. Many of these songs were written during the early days of the pandemic in New York City: Kari’s deeply personal lyrics reflect on the difficult balance between isolation  and the needs of a community\, as well as the growth that can come from periods of solitude. Totem was inspired by the work of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and features a swirling\, fast-moving onslaught of chords with fleeting moments of repetition. The song Trust Exercise explores trust issues while featuring a mysterious\, hard-to-grasp intro of layered flutes and vocals. Sprout shows the ensemble communicating at its best\, revisiting past trauma and the growth it inspires. The album culminates with Keeping Quiet\, a setting of Pablo Neruda’s poem A callarse. A stunning duet between Kari and pianist Jamie Reynolds\, Neruda’s text implores us to take the time to be still in our lives.

SUMMARY:Natasha Blackwood 'Love Songs for Good Machines' Album Release at Fred's Records!
DESCRIPTION:Newfoundland vocalist and saxophonist Natasha Blackwood’s Love Songs for Good Machines is a jazz album with pop sensibilities rooted in modern-day folk storytelling. These songs are love letters to the working class\, addressing themes of labour\, love and resilience. They are sharp and witty\, tongue-in-cheek\, and rich with subtle Newfoundlandia. They bring to mind the work of Joni Mitchell at mid-career: these are songs that bend notions of genres and take risks\, with soaring melodies and thoughtful stories framed by arrangements that sound both complex and effortless at once. \n\n\n\n“Good machine” is a term used in Newfoundland for something that lasts a long time. It might break down\, but it never wears out: it ‘takes a lickin’ but keeps on tickin.’ With this new album\, Blackwood looks at the working-class of her native province in this same light\, exploring how a person is valued for their productivity\, and only celebrated once they are worn out for good. \n\n\n\nThese songs tell stories about the frustration that comes from working hard without getting ahead; about the intense gratitude for love\, family\, and the ability to get by; and the need for validation for being a good worker. This album explores the idea of being enough – in the workplace\, in the home\, and in our relationships. Each song was written by Blackwood for a real person with resilience and grit – terms that are often used to describe the people of Newfoundland\, but not exactly in this context. To hear these kinds of songs and stories within a jazz context is something uniquely refreshing\, ear-bending\, and somehow familiar at the same time.

SUMMARY:Ernesto Cervini's Turboprob @ Jazz Bistro!
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating their brand new release ‘A Canadian Songbook’ \n\n\n\nTara Davidson – Alto SaxophoneJoel Frahm – Tenor SaxophoneWilliam Carn – Trombone Adrean Farrugia – Piano Dan Loomis – Bass Ernesto Cervini – Drums  \n\n\n\nMay 24 & 25 \n\n\n\nSets @ 8 and 9:30pm \n\n\n\nFollowing up his ambitious JUNO Award-nominated 2022 album Joy (“a compositional tour-de-force\, with strong melodies scored for diverse instrumentations” — Ted Panken\, DownBeat)\, Toronto drummer and composer Ernesto Cervini is proud to announce the release of A Canadian Songbook\, a vivid\, fiery\, insightful exploration of music composed by Canadians. This outing finds Cervini returning to the helm of his accomplished and long-running sextet Turboprop\, with a thick\, contrapuntal three-horn sound that’s been developing over the course of three previous albums: Abundance (2018)\, Rev (2017) and Turboprop (2015). Turboprop’s personnel also played an important role on Joy\, along with a cast of singers and members of Cervini’s other projects\, notably Tetrahedron and TuneTown.  \n\n\n\nOn A Canadian Songbook it’s Turboprop all the way\, soaring on a couple of impressive Cervini originals and arrangements of the pop/rock numbers “When I Fall” by The Barenaked Ladies and “Clumsy” by Toronto’s own Our Lady Peace. Brilliant tunes by Cervini’s contemporaries and friends\, Allison Au (“Aureole”)\, James Hill (“Skeletons”) and Turboprop trombonist William Carn (“The Inertia of Complacency”) round out the program. “The two pop songs on the record I’ve been listening to since they were released\, when I was a teenager\,” Cervini says. “Allison’s and James’ songs I fell in love with while working publicity for their albums\,” he adds\, alluding to his role as founding director of Orange Grove Publicity.  \n\n\n\nWith two saxes (Tara Davidson\, Joel Frahm) and Carn’s trombone offering harmonic richness\, limitless versatility and off-the-charts improvisational prowess\, Cervini can tell the story of what these songs inspire in him\, aided by the eloquent\, formidable rhythm section partners Dan Loomis (bass) and Adrean Farrugia (piano). “I’m happy to present my reflection on the Canadian music scene and the wonderful composers within it\,” writes Cervini in the liner notes. “I’ve always been very proud of my Canadian heritage. I love how supportive this country is of artists\, and I think that support is reflected in the success Canadian artists have on a global scale.”

SUMMARY:Gabriel Genest 'As It Is' Album Release Celebration
DESCRIPTION:As It Is is Montreal saxophonist Gabriel Genest’s second album as a leader. A follow up to his debut album Triptyque (winner of the Prix François-Marcaurelle from the 2021 OFF Festival de Jazz de Montréal)\, As It Is is a compelling new album with a resolutely modern aesthetic marked by complex rhythms\, modal harmony\, and sophisticated melodies. These eight new compositions draw just as much influence from classical impressionist music as they do from the American and European jazz traditions. \n\n\n\nWith this album\, Genest wanted to bring together two worlds that are dear to him: jazz improvisation and mindfulness meditation\, which he has been practicing diligently for 10 years. “It’s a practice that’s very important to me and feeds my creative process\,” explains the saxophonist. The pieces on the album explore various themes at the heart of meditation\, including the quest for balance\, the perception of time\, interdependence and impermanence. Three tracks on this predominantly instrumental album are musical settings of Zen poems performed by singer Jeanne Laforest (Puisque les heures nous manquent\, 2022). \n\n\n\nThe warm\, subtle\, yet powerful sound of Genest’s tenor saxophone is supported by the exceptional musicianship of three long-time accomplices: Alex Le Blanc on double bass\, Guillaume Pilote on drums and Yannick Anctil on piano. This core group is joined by guests who contribute strong\, original musical personalities to the album: Jeanne Laforest on vocals\, Jean-Nicolas Trottier on trombone and Olivier Salazar on vibraphone.

SUMMARY:Brenda Earle Stokes 'Motherhood' Album Release!
DESCRIPTION:Doors @ 6Show 6:30-7:45 \n\n\n\nMotherhood is a collection of songs by Canadian born\, NYC based pianist\, vocalist and composer Brenda Earle Stokes. A natural multitasker\, Stokes has fused a passion for the piano and a love of singing into a vibrant career that crosses genres organically. A native of Sarnia\, Ontario\, Canada\, Brenda’s career has taken her across Canada and the US\, and internationally performing at venues like the Kennedy Center\, Carnegie Hall\, the Toronto Jazz festival\, Avery Fischer Hall and the Christchurch Arts Festival in New Zealand.  \n\n\n\nMotherhood shares the journey of motherhood with songs exploring identity\, fear\, expectations\, body image\, friendship and growth. Inspired by her own life as a mother\, Stokes started composing this music during the early days of her son’s life\, jotting words in a notebook while pushing her son’s stroller around their New York City neighborhood.   \n\n\n\nEight years later\, Brenda Earle Stokes was invited to a music residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Alberta\, Canada\, where she completed the bulk of the songs for this project. Armed with dozens of saved voice memos in her iPhone and journals full of lyric ideas and observations\, she composed 8 songs in only 9 days. \n\n\n\nRooted in the harmonic and improvisational language of jazz\, Stokes drew additional inspiration from singer-songwriters\, musical theatre\, spoken word and 1960s protest songs. Each song is richly orchestrated by a four-piece ensemble jazz ensemble featuring bassist Evan Gregor and drummer Ross Pederson\, with additional support from vocalists Melissa Stylianou and Nicole Zuraitis. Special guest trumpet player Ingrid Jensen rounds out the group\, having been especially drawn to this project as a fellow mom. The ensemble provides an energetic backdrop for Stokes’ material which is at once honest\, thought provoking and laced with humor.   \n\n\n\nAs the jazz world continues to expand and more women jazz artists are able to tell their stories\, Brenda Earle Stokes’ Motherhood shares vivid stories of contemporary parenthood in a decidedly jazz-forward format.
