Saxophone staple, Tara Davidson goes full steam on South Western View. Great playing and a beautiful composition to boot. The dark flute harmonies are reminiscent of Max Roach's 'Percussion Bittersweet' and one can only marvel at the musicianship of her tightly-knit band.Please check out her new album 'The View' atwww.taradavidson.com

Tara Davidson- South Western View

Barry Elmes: Drummer/ Composer/ Teacher/ Rockstar. The man wears many different hats, and many different moustaches. On 'Theme For Sterling Hayden,' Elmes shows why he has long been one of Toronto's favourite musicians. The beautiful melody of the song is carried by superb brush work, and an all-star cast of Hogtown's finest including Mike Murley and Kevin Turcotte.

Barry Elmes- Theme For Sterling Hayden

Awesome post-bop from drummer, Ernesto Cervini. Although he looks young, he plays like a seasoned veteran and his quartet consisting of Joel Frahm, Adrean Farrugia, and John Maharaj kill it on Cervini's live album 'Little Black Bird.'

It's always nice to see in the Jazz a world when a group of musicians take a 'band' approach to music. This truly is a group. One only needs to listen to 'Says You' to see how far this band is able to stretch rhythmically and harmonically, while still staying true to simplistic melodies that can be found throughout their debut album. As good as the album is, you have to see to these guys live!
