Sorry, not much time for blogging these days. Too busy producing and promoting concerts! Here's another fun gig of mine coming up next week, this time with acclaimed guitarist Peter Bernstein. Along with my regular Invertigo Trio mates Jim Brenan (tenor) and Rubim DeToledo (bass) we'll be exploring a host of tunes with Peter including some favourite old standards and new originals.
Peter has long been a favourite of mine since the early 2000s so I'm really looking forward to this monumental gig with him and my friends. I first discovered his playing via his releases as a leader and as a sideman on the Criss Cross record label of which many of these titles found there way to the many used record and CD stores in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood (still not sure why...) Many of these "used" discs popped up on a regular basis and myself and the McDade brothers (Solon and Jeremiah) would regularly scour these shops not only to find some good deals on music but also for the opportunity to check out many great New York Jazz musicians that were not represented in the mainstream.
I miss those days. Looking through the bins of my local used .mp3 store just isn't quite the same.
(sarcasm off...)
