SUMMARY:Saku Mantere 'Divine Apology' Album Release Celebration!
DESCRIPTION:Sets at 7pm & 9:30pm \n\n\n\n$15/set (or $25 for both) \n\n\n\nDivine Apology is a jazz album that travels through purgatory\, memory\, and longing with poetic precision and deep musical sensitivity. Composer\, vocalist\, and bandleader Saku Mantere crafts a richly textured work that draws as much from literature and philosophy as it does from the jazz tradition. Half of the album’s lyrics come from the work of poet Norman Cristofoli\, whose metaphysical play The Pub inspires the album’s overarching structure: a liminal space where souls gather\, reflect\, and await their next passage. Each song becomes a meditation—on grief\, childhood\, resistance\, or redemption—anchored by the recurring question: How does one measure the quality of life? \n\n\n\nThe ensemble features some of Canada’s most gifted jazz voices: Jim Doxas’ deeply intuitive drumming\, Kate Wyatt’s luminous piano work\, Lex French’s aching trumpet lines\, Erik Hove’s searching alto saxophone\, and Adrian Vedady’s lyrical bass—joined by the haunting voice of Bohdanna Novak in a standout wordless role on the song Not Fair. From the reimagined Finnish lullaby Lapin Äidin Kehtolaulu to the poignant intimacy of Velvet\, a love song written for Mantere’s future wife Maryam (whose artwork graces the cover)\, the album navigates shifting emotional and temporal landscapes with nuance and sincerity. \n\n\n\nThe title itself holds a double meaning: an apology as a gesture of regret\, and as a defense of the human condition. Divine Apology imagines both: a world in which divinity learns to say sorry\, and a life defended through song. By turns irreverent\, vulnerable\, and transcendent\, this album offers no easy answers\, only lyrical and musical invitations to keep asking the question. In the end\, as the usher at the back door of The Pub might say: your fate is your own to determine\, but the soundtrack can make all the difference.

SUMMARY:David Bode 'Good Hang' Album Release Celebration!
DESCRIPTION:David Bode\, a New Orleans-born saxophonist\, composer\, and arranger\, is set to release his debut album\, Good Hang\, on August 29\, 2025. \n\n\n\n“After many recordings as a sideman or bandmember\, I am very proud to present the first album under my own name\,” says Bode\, who leads a 19-piece big band ensemble that includes some of New Orleans’ finest musicians. “Big Band Jazz was the original inspiration for me to pick up the saxophone\, and I am so excited to share my interpretation of this music with the world.” \n\n\n\nThe album reflects Bode’s eclectic taste in music and his wide performance experience. From the modern jazz repertoire\, Bode includes John Coltrane’s Syeeda’s Song Flute\, the classic ballad\, Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most by Fran Landesman and Tommy Wolf\, Happy People by Kenny Garrett\, and Monkey Puzzle by New Orleans native James Black. The album also incorporates Bode’s love of pop and rock with a medley of The Beatles’ Dear Prudence and Don’t Let Me Down\, as well as a version of Lover\, You Should’ve Come Over by 90s rock legend Jeff Buckley. Rounding out the repertoire is the classic Libertango by Astor Piazzolla and two of Bode’s original compositions\, Cold Train Funk and Temporary Blindness. \n\n\n\nThe record is imbued with the history of Bode’s native city\, as it was recorded at Marigny Studios\, blocks away from the world-famous Frenchmen Street\, where Bode and many other musicians on the album first cut their teeth. “Marigny Studios was originally Luthjens’ Dance Hall\, where many New Orleans musicians played in the 60s and 70s. It’s great that a building with so much history is still a part of the musical fabric of the city\,” says Bode. \n\n\n\nGood Hang was supported by a grant from the Threadhead Cultural Foundation\, which promotes the cultural heritage of New Orleans. \n\n\n\nThe album will be released 20 years to the day after Hurricane Katrina and the federal levee failures swamped the city of New Orleans. “My family was very lucky with Katrina\, but it still impacted me in a major way as I spent months away from Louisiana for the first time in my life\,” reminisces Bode. “When I returned\, I had a renewed sense of how important New Orleans is in the history of music. This album is a culmination of many years of study\, performance\, writing\, and living\, and I hope my contribution to New Orleans’ musical history is enjoyed by all.”

SUMMARY:Curtis Nowosad 'I Am Doing My Best' Album Release Celebration!
DESCRIPTION:I Am Doing My Bestis the fourth full-length album from JUNO-nominated\, NYC-based jazz drummer Curtis Nowosad. Slated for release in June 2025 on La Reserve Records\, the album is co-produced by two-time JUNO-winning guitarist & singer-songwriter Joey Landreth\, and features special guests Joanna Majoko on vocals and Andrew Renfroe on guitar. \n\n\n\nThis is music for healing in an increasingly demanding world. We all have something—or many somethings—to heal from\, and it is Nowosad’s sincere belief that if we can begin the messy\, perpetual process of healing ourselves\, we can begin the work of helping to heal our little corners of the world. If we can do that\, we can create a kinder\, gentler\, more equitable and more forgiving world for future generations. Some of the themes explored in the music and particularly the lyrics—co-written with Majoko and Landreth—include self-compassion and treating yourself with kindness\, being the person your child needs while doing the same for your younger self\, building a life that aligns with your values\, accepting your place in the stories of others\, embracing change as the only constant in life and choosing faith in the face of self-doubt and indecision.  \n\n\n\nHaving long been a staple of the NYC jazz scene\, touring and recording with many diverse artists including Braxton Cook\, Jazzmeia Horn\, Jane Monheit\, Brianna Thomas\, Jocelyn Gould\, Bria Skonberg\, Philip Harper\, Marc Cary and Craig Harris\, the album comes at a critical turning point in Nowosad’s career. He is excited to release this exceptional album—his first to feature all-original music—while showcasing his use of language to express messages that are at once both universal and deeply personal. \n\n\n\n“Nowosad is fiery and scalding one moment\, breezy and swinging the next\, and perpetually inventive throughout.” \n\n\n\nDownbeat \n\n\n\n“Nowosad consistently pushes his players to go the extra distance and stretch boundaries.” \n\n\n\nJazzTimes \n\n\n\nI Am Doing My Best will be released worldwide on Friday\, June 6th 2025 on La Reserve.

SUMMARY:Joshua Banks 'Para Sayo' @ The Edmonton International Jazz Festival
DESCRIPTION:Joshua banks – PianoConnor Miskiman – BassJon Guenter – DrumsHazel Cavida – VocalsDana Anderson – Alto SaxophoneNick Lange – Tenor Saxophone \n\n\n\nWith his first recording project\, Para Sayo\, Edmonton pianist Joshua Banks has proven himself to be a thrilling new compositional force in contemporary jazz. After studying the sounds of illustrious Asian pianists Hiromi Uehara\, Kie Katagi\, and Nahre Sol\, Banks called upon his formidable technical facility developed through years of classical study to craft an album featuring a distinctive fusion of styles that strives to expand the presence of Asian-inspired jazz in North America. \n\n\n\nBanks refined the music of Para Sayo over the course of two years. After affirming his personal sound\, he connected with his good friend\, lyricist Hazel Cavida. “I approached Hazel about collaborating on a lyric in both English and Tagalog. As someone who often feels disconnected from my heritage\, I leaned on her a lot to flesh out the album’s themes\, titles\, and stories. When Hazel came on board\, the album really began to get its legs\, not just as an exploration of Asian musical identities\, but of my own identity as an Asian/Filipino-Canadian in general. I was born ‘here’ in Canada\, and so I have nothing from ‘there’— my family’s homeland. The album is an exploration of what it means to find space as an Asian artist\, and what it means to find space for ourselves\, our families\, our people\, and our culture in the west.” \n\n\n\nIn addition to Cavida’s contributions\, Para Sayo showcases the artistry of many of Western Canada’s most exciting up and coming young musicians. Banks’ own mother\, Corazon Banks\, recorded a spoken word contribution in her native Ibaloi— the language belonging to her indigenous group native to the Philippine Cordillera mountains— as a way to honour her ancestral contribution to his music. The result is a scintillating modern jazz album that is deeply grounded in both musical and emotional storytelling.

SUMMARY:Lulaworld 2025: Joaquin Nuñez with Dayramir González & Natasha Roldán
DESCRIPTION:Ruta de la Clave\, the highly anticipated debut album from Juno-winning Cuban-Canadian percussionist\, composer\, producer\, and bandleader Joaquín Núñez\, is the result of five years of creative exploration. Produced in collaboration with acclaimed New-York based Cuban pianist and jazz innovator Dayramir González\, the album offers a rich sonic journey tracing the evolution of Cuban music through its heartbeat: the clave. \n\n\n\nAs the title suggests\, Ruta de la Clave (“The Route of the Clave”) charts the rhythmic and cultural trajectory of this essential Afro-Cuban pattern from its early expressions in the contradanza of the 1800s\, through genres such as danzón\, changüí\, son\, and rumba\, and into their present-day forms. Rooted in tradition but infused with modern sophistication\, the album blends folkloric rhythms and authentic instrumentation with the harmonic and improvisational complexity of New York jazz. \n\n\n\nHeavily influenced by the sounds of Charlie Parker\, Dizzy Gillespie\, and the golden era of bebop\, Ruta de la Clave bridges continents and centuries. Tracks like ‘Una Guajira en New York’ tell vivid musical stories—this particular piece follows a guajira (Cuban country girl) whose traditional style is forever transformed by an encounter with piano\, trumpet\, and saxophone in the streets of New York. ‘Suite Columbia’ offers an instrumental narrative of an enslaved African brought to Cuba\, who though forced to leave his home\, discovers familiar flavours and sounds on the Caribbean island. \n\n\n\nRecorded in Canada between 2022 and 2024\, Ruta de la Clave is not just an album—it’s a statement\, a celebration\, and a reinvention of Afro-Cuban jazz.

SUMMARY:Steve Holt 'IMPACT' Album Release Show!
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Turcotte – Trumpet & FlugelhornPerry White – Tenor SaxophoneSteve Holt – PianoDuncan Hopkins – BassTerry Clarke – Drums \n\n\n\nPianist Steve Holt’s latest album IMPACT is a celebration of fresh\, original compositions crafted over more than a year\, showcasing Holt’s dual passion for composing and playing. This release marks an exciting new chapter in his storied career\, blending innovative ideas with a deep respect for the jazz tradition. Each track is a testament to his creative spirit and the joy he finds in exploring new musical landscapes. \n\n\n\nAt the heart of the album is the title track\, Impact—a joyful\, explosive\, and high-energy composition that perfectly embodies the spirit of this new quintet. The album also features Second Voyage\, a dreamy\, expansive journey that invites listeners to imagine gliding on a schooner into an endless expanse of blue sky and sea\, with subtle nods to Herbie Hancock’s iconic Maiden Voyage. Lalita’s Waltz is a beautiful\, evocative jazz waltz in the style of Bill Evans\, written with heartfelt dedication to Holt’s wife\, and filled with surprising harmonic twists that captivate the listener. \n\n\n\nComplementing these compositions are other Holt originals\, a smokin’ hot version of Tom McIntosh’s Cup Bearers\, and a stunning solo piano rendition of O Canada\, a piece that reimagines the national anthem with emotional depth and creative flair. Backing Holt on this project is a powerhouse band featuring some of Canada’s top jazz players: Perry White\, Kevin Turcotte\, Duncan Hopkins\, and Terry Clarke. Together\, they deliver an album that is both innovative and true to the timeless essence of straight-ahead jazz.

DESCRIPTION:Diane Roblin – Piano\, Rhodes\, KeyboardsKevin Turcotte – Trumpet\, FlugelhornJohn Johnson – Soprano & Alto SaxJeff LaRochelle – Tenor Sax\, Bass ClarinetGeorge Koller – Acoustic & Electric BassTim Shia – Drums \n\n\n\nDiane Roblin’s dynamic career has earned her a place among Canada’s most respected women in jazz. Known for her powerful compositions and expressive keyboard style\, Roblin’s performances blend technical agility with a deep commitment to the connective power of music. As a composer\, pianist\, electric keyboardist\, improviser\, and bandleader\, Roblin’s spirited\, genre-crossing work has led to collaborations with artists ranging from avant-garde improviser Charles Gayle to the iconic rock band Rough Trade.  \n\n\n\nRoblin’s new album\, Breath of Fresh Air continues this legacy. It showcases Roblin’s expansive musical voice\, weaving jazz\, funk\, and impressionist harmony into compositions that are both adventurous and deeply moving. Leading her powerhouse six-piece ensemble\, Life Force\, Roblin explores high-energy soundscapes punctuated by intricate and emotionally resonant improvisations. Bassist and album producer George Koller masterfully lays down the foundation. Kevin Turcotte delivers agile\, inventive phrasing on trumpet and flugelhorn\, while Jeff LaRochelle adds warmth and depth on tenor sax and bass clarinet.

SUMMARY:Dr. Purgatory: 'The Consumption: A Tragic Folktale in Six Parts' Album Release!
DESCRIPTION:David Riddel – Guitar\, CompositionsAline Homzy – ViolinColleen Allen – Alto Sax\, FluteConrad Gluch – Alto Sax\, Bass ClarinetNoam Lemish – PianoAndrew Downing – Upright BassStefan Hegerat – Drums \n\n\n\nWhen Toronto guitarist and composer David Riddel (aka. Dr. Purgatory) set out to record his second LP\, The Consumption: A Tragic Folktale in Six Parts\, he had no idea it would become a multidisciplinary project.  \n\n\n\n‘“I wanted to make an album that was one part Reinier Baas [Riddel’s hero and mentor]\, one part Maurice Ravel\, and one part Bjork\,” Riddel says. While the influence of the latter may be less obvious to the listener\, Riddel claims “her spirit is at the forefront of the project. Everything I compose is essentially influenced by Bjork’s 2001 album Vespertine.” The result is a lush and angular 10-track chamber jazz concept album of all original material\, featuring decorated Canadian jazz mainstays Colleen Allen\, Andrew Downing\, Noam Lemish\, Aline Homzy\, Stefan Hegerat and Conrad Gluch. \n\n\n\nThe most intriguing part of the project\, however\, is the accompanying 40 page novella\, a dark\, modern folktale featuring characters from mythology and folklore. “When the concept of the album became so clear\,” says Riddel\, who’d been tinkering with short fiction\, “the story just started forming in my mind.” After that\, he put to page an Odyssean tale influenced by a few works by his literary heroes: Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders\, Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh and Aleister Crowley’s demonology text\, The Lesser Key of Solomon. \n\n\n\nThe emotional\, irreverent album and the darkly humorous\, brooding folktale (featuring illustrations by Toronto artist Sid Sharp) are inextricably linked\, and are each all the more compelling in their union. Dr. Purgatory’s The Consumption: A Tragic Folktale in Six Parts will be premiered in full at Burdock Brewery in Toronto on March 20th. The album will be available on vinyl\, and a physical copy of the book is included with purchase.

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.
