Publisher’s View
Well as you can see in this issue quite a few things are coming up and much has been happening.
First we had the stellar recording of trumpeter, Mike Field entitled RUSH MODE, not to forget his tasty
accompanying musicians. I have always found Mike full of enthusiasm for his playing, he is very creative.
All tracks on this new CD. were composed and arranged by him, and his artistic imagination certainly come
through. Full marks for originality, with a variety of tempos that you can appreciate without getting lost.
Then we had yet another top-notch recording by the acclaimed Latin band Manteca , their 11th CD. this
one named MONDAY NIGHT AT THE MENSA DISCO. For all you Latin jazz fans you won’t be disappointed.
This band was originally formed in 1979 by percussionist , Matt Zimbel and bassist, Henry Heillig. Since
those early days they have performed across the U.S.A , Canada, and Europe . Look for Manteca at The Monarch
Tavern , November 10th. While on the subject of first-class bands the University of Toronto Jazz Orchestra have
just released their new CD. REFLECTIONS featuring veteran saxophonist, Mike Murley and Gordon Foote ,
Director. This recording has a variety of fine original arrangements , delightful ballads and up-tempo numbers.
Something to please everyone, with the tunes being played by 21 practiced musicians, plus of course their tutors, Mike Murley and
Gordon Foote. Next up a new recording 57 MINUTES by captivating vocalist, Laura Marks to be released on November 12th at The
Jazz Bistro. Laura has been on the jazz scene for numerous years performing in Toronto’s major clubs, she never fails to get a decent
review. Mark this one on your calendar . Finally a live recording to be made at Hugh’s Room on November 25th this is by a band named
The Octokats led by saxophonist, Sarang Kulkarni. They will be playing West Coast style of Jazz , very smooth , my kind of jazz. Just
look at some of the renowned musicians in this band ( in advertisement) one night not to miss.
As you will also notice in their advert the beautiful Rose Theatre in Brampton have superb line-up coming in, worth the trip out
of town. On the subject of advertisers , once more I would like to express my gratitude to those fine musicians, establishments, theatres
and clubs who support this free non-profit publication with
their adverts. They maybe few but are very special. I can
assure you by the emails and calls I get, you have been noticed,
thanks again. As this is the last issue for this year I would
like to express thanks to photographer, Barry Thomson.
Barry is always on the run in and out of the city, also to the
U.S.A he is a true professional. By the way check out Barry’s
Renowned Artists page on www.torontojazz.ca recently updated with more exceptional photos. Also thanks to the good

ILUSIÓN
This group of musicians perform regularly at Hotel & Villas Don
Lino in Rafael Freyre, about an hour from the city of Holguin.
Mostly singing traditional Cuban songs, including all the tourist’s
favorites, including “Guantamaro”… Like most Cubans they sing
from the heart, and you know they are expressing exactly what they
feel. Always a pleasure to hear when I visit this hotel

Sadly both of these legendary Holguin based musicians

they were two unique individuals. Whenever I visited,
they made me feel most welcome, treated me as if I was a
brother. No doubt about it they will never be forgotten.

Margaret Marian McPartland O.B.E.
March 20. 1918.—August 20. 2013.
Photo by Barry Thomson
One might of thought of Marian as the jazz version of another famous British artist,
vocalist, Vera Lynn. They both entertained the troops during the second world war and
both been commended for their service to Britain. Although Marian moved to the U.S.A
in 1944,shortly after her marriage to American cornetist, Jimmy Mcpartland. Vera Lynn
continued to sing all through the war with the bombs falling and remained in England.
Of interest, Vera is 96 and as far as I know still alive, she is now Dame Vera Lynn.
Now back to the remarkable career of Marian McPartland who first began
playing the piano when she was just a child at 3 or 4 years old. Her early classical studies
also included the violin. She continued her musical education at the highly recognized
Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, England. Over 70 years this fine lady
had gained recognition as a pianist, radio host, writer, and composer. Marian had been
recording since 1951, received numerous honorary degrees and awards including a
Grammy in 2004..
Her style as a pianist was uncomplicated, you could always relate to what she
was doing. Listening to her was a delight, whether it was nice standard or one of her own
superb compositions, it was perfection. Not surprising she was in constant demand either
as a soloist or trio format, where Marian seemed most happy. Not only did Marian
understand the piano as an instrument, with all its complexities, she also understood
exactly what other pianists were doing, and could explain it. Marian was a true technician in more ways than one.
I remember one occasion at the Montreal Bistro, where she loved playing, and owner Lothar Lang was elated to have
her there. Anyhow. I had met Marian previously and she said to me “Hi Dave. I wonder how many other Brit’s” are here tonight”. Then she sat down at the piano, picked up the microphone and said “how many Brit’s are here to-night?” The response
was a loud cheer, which she really got a kick out of. Marian had never forgot her British background and we will never forget
her and what she had brought to the world of jazz..
Cedar Anthony Walton Jr.
January 17. 1934—August 19. 2013
Photo by Barry Thomson
We often hear the expression “he’s played with everyone” and that certainly applies to
this outstanding bebop player. Many will remember him for his stellar performances
at the Café des Copains and Montreal Bistro, where he usually packed the places.
Born in Dallas, Texas , U.S.A. Cedar was fortunate enough to have a mother who was
concert pianist, and who was his first teacher. At an early age his early influences
came from listening to Nat King Cole, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk and Art
Tatum. He first attended the University of Denver studying composition and
arranging, then into the music education system at a local public school. Everything
soon started to pay off his ability play and arrange gained recognition by the greats of
that era.(50s). Like most in the U.S.A and Britain at that time he was drafted into the
U.S. Army and sent to Germany. While there he jammed with, Leo Wright, Don
Ellis, and Eddie Harris , after 2 years military time he was discharged on
completion of service.
From that moment on he never looked back, going on to play as a sideman
with, Kenny Dorham, J.J. Johnson, and Gigi Gryce. Then from 1958-1961 joined a
Jazztet led by Benny Golson and Art Farmer, and in 1959 recorded with John
Coltrane, no solos for Cedar on this recording. Next up, early 60s he joined Art
Blakey’s Jazz Messengers as both pianist and arranger. This group also consisted of
Wayne Shorter and Freddie Hubbard, wow! what a combination. Just over 3 years
with Art Blakey then Cedar moved on to perform with Sonny Cris, Pat Martino,
Eric Kloss, Charles McPherson, Abbey Lincoln, and Lee Morgan. Then to
surprise many during the 70s he led a funk group by the name of Mobias. As leader Cedar had over 40 recordings to his name,
as sideman over 25. In January 2010 , he was inducted as a member of the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters.
Cedar Walton certainly lived up to his description “ American Hard Bop Jazz Pianist”. Gone but not forgotten.

Publisher’s View
Well as you can see in this issue quite a few things are coming up and much has been happening.
First we had the stellar recording of trumpeter, Mike Field entitled RUSH MODE, not to forget his tasty
accompanying musicians. I have always found Mike full of enthusiasm for his playing, he is very creative.
All tracks on this new CD. were composed and arranged by him, and his artistic imagination certainly come
through. Full marks for originality, with a variety of tempos that you can appreciate without getting lost.
Then we had yet another top-notch recording by the acclaimed Latin band Manteca , their 11th CD. this
one named MONDAY NIGHT AT THE MENSA DISCO. For all you Latin jazz fans you won’t be disappointed.
This band was originally formed in 1979 by percussionist , Matt Zimbel and bassist, Henry Heillig. Since
those early days they have performed across the U.S.A , Canada, and Europe . Look for Manteca at The Monarch
Tavern , November 10th. While on the subject of first-class bands the University of Toronto Jazz Orchestra have
just released their new CD. REFLECTIONS featuring veteran saxophonist, Mike Murley and Gordon Foote ,
Director. This recording has a variety of fine original arrangements , delightful ballads and up-tempo numbers.
Something to please everyone, with the tunes being played by 21 practiced musicians, plus of course their tutors, Mike Murley and
Gordon Foote. Next up a new recording 57 MINUTES by captivating vocalist, Laura Marks to be released on November 12th at The
Jazz Bistro. Laura has been on the jazz scene for numerous years performing in Toronto’s major clubs, she never fails to get a decent
review. Mark this one on your calendar . Finally a live recording to be made at Hugh’s Room on November 25th this is by a band named
The Octokats led by saxophonist, Sarang Kulkarni. They will be playing West Coast style of Jazz , very smooth , my kind of jazz. Just
look at some of the renowned musicians in this band ( in advertisement) one night not to miss.
As you will also notice in their advert the beautiful Rose Theatre in Brampton have superb line-up coming in, worth the trip out
of town. On the subject of advertisers , once more I would like to express my gratitude to those fine musicians, establishments, theatres
and clubs who support this free non-profit publication with
their adverts. They maybe few but are very special. I can
assure you by the emails and calls I get, you have been noticed,
thanks again. As this is the last issue for this year I would
like to express thanks to photographer, Barry Thomson.
Barry is always on the run in and out of the city, also to the
U.S.A he is a true professional. By the way check out Barry’s
Renowned Artists page on www.torontojazz.ca recently updated with more exceptional photos. Also thanks to the good
people at E-impressions who do my lay-out and printing,
