The internets a big place and sometimes you don’t know where to start looking. At times like this check out Bob Keller’s Jazz Page. It’s not the be all and end all of jazz on the web, but it’s a huge list of links covering 25 topics including Improvisation, Organizations, Transcriptions, Fake Books/Real Books and Trumpet Stuff.
It’s getting busy as we work our way into this years Jazz Fest.
The Montreal Bistro presents The Canadian Jazz Quartet tonight for one night only. Thursday brings Bonnie Brett and the Richard Whiteman Trio w/ Brandi Disterheft & Sly Juhas to the stage.
The Cedar Walton Trio with Barry Elmes & Dave Young takes the stage Friday and Saturday, and Monday Lew Tabackin Quartet with Mark Eisenman, Pat Collins & Mark Taylor are in house.
Now ask yourself, when was the last time you saw a little tuba? Well tonight catch Jay Burr’s Tuba Trio at The Red Guitar, followed by the Ryan Oliver Trio. Thursday the Ted Quinlin Trio is centre stage and again Friday. Saturday the ex-shuffle demon is in as the Richard Underhill Quartet.
What better to get in the right mood for Jazz Fest then catching Kirk MacDonald and Lorne Lofsky tonight at The Dominion on Queen, and if your looking for a little late night action after a fest show, this is the place to be. Late night Jazz Jams are going till 4am during the Jazz Festival.
The Annual players party is on tonight at The Rex. Metalwood is in Thursday from New York for a two night stay. The Chris Hunt Tentet + 2 is in Saturday followed by Emile-Claire Barlow at 9:30pm. Sunday don’t miss Swing Rosie followed by the Artie Roth Quintet.
