Sorry to anyone that had a problem accessing the site, our hosts had to reboot the server. They promise me all is good again however.

Well Kind of Blue seemed to run away with the poll which was not unexpected, so it’s time for something new.
How do you get your music? The lables claim that nobody is buying albums anymore. I thought I’d put it to the test and find out, so excersise your right and cast your vote. And if you need to… vote twice. We’ll allow that here.
Thanks to all who voted in our first poll “What’s the best venue for live Jazz in Toronto?”. The results had The Rex out in front followed by the Montreal Bistro in second and the the Dominion on Queen in a close third.
With a new month comes a new poll, and this time we want to know your favorite Miles Davis album. Excercise your democratic right and vote now!
Some of you might remember from way back that I ordered the new Lenny Breau Biography. Well it arrived yesterday just in time for the weekend… woohoo!
“I just improvise and keep it going and see what happens. Sort of like adapting to your environment and playing however that environment makes you feel. Just one big, long tune.”
- Lenny Breau
“Whoever’d think that a little Frenchmen could play like that?”
-Denny breau on his brother Lenny

Well next week is my turn for a vacation so there won’t be alot of updating here over the next seven days, you’ll just have to fend for yourself I’m afraid.
I will leave you however with a little gig tip that came in the mail to me this week. Check out the Scott Kemp Collective:

Well here we go… Introducting JazzTo.ca.
It is our hope that this site can act as a simple and effective destination for you to connect with the Toronto Jazz community. Wether you want to promote your next gig, talk about the latest album you’ve loaded into your ipod, find a place to catch a show this friday, or just rant among friends, JazzTo.ca hopes to be the place you’ll look first.
This is all new to us to, and we hope that if there is something you think we could add to make JazzTo.ca better you’ll let us now.
But enough of all that, come on in, snoop around, and say hi.
