On this night, Flora will be playing original songs from her latest CD Insight (2008), as well as jazz and soul standards with a modern twist. On the strength of her Insight release, Flora appeared in 2008 at two popular festivals in BC - the Kaslo Jazz Fest and Rare Earth Jazz & Blues Fest in Vernon. She also did a Western Canadian tour with songstress Monica Lee. The BC Interior Music Awards nominated her for Best Jazz Artist of the Year in 2008. Co-produced by Rick Kilburn and Peter Berring, Insight appeals to a wide audience with its groovy mix of standards and original music influenced by Latin jazz, and Soul/R&B. Flora is developing a reputation as a performer who puts her soul into singing and who does not fit neatly into any one genre; she is part jazz diva, part folk singer, part cabaret performer. Whether it’s swing standards, R&B, or opera, she isn’t afraid to push the boundaries, delivering a comedic or seductive twist to a song. In 2009, Paul Grant featured Flora on his CBC radio show “Hot Air”. She completed a spring tour of the Kootenays in March 2009, after being awarded a touring grant from the Columbia Basin Trust. She also performed regularly in 2009 throughout the BC interior. Her 2010 tour will include stops in Alberta, the BC coast, and Vancouver Island. Flora first appeared at the Yardbird Suite in 2006 with the Charlie Austin Trio. when...

He continues to tour the world as a soloist, playing clubs and jazz festivals with his own groups and as featured soloist with the Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra. Lew is an artist of astonishing vision.His electrifying flute playing is at once virtuosic, primordial, crosscultural, and passionate. His distinctive tenor sax style includes the use of wide intervals, abrupt changes of mood and tempo, and purposeful fervor, all in the service of showing the full range of possibilities of his instrument - melodically, rhythmically, and dynamically. In the 1960s, among other musical highlights, Lew played with Tal Farlow and Don Friedman, and in big bands led by Cab Calloway, Les and Larry Elgart, Maynard Ferguson, Joe Henderson, Chuck Israels, Thad Jones and Mel Lewis, Clark Terry, and Duke Pearson. In 1968, he met Toshiko Akiyoshi when the two played together in a quartet. They eventually married and moved to Los Angeles, where they formed the award-winning big band known as the Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra. During the 1980s he began to get some long overdue recognition as a flutist, winning many Down Beat critic’s and reader’s polls. In 1990, Mr. Tabackin released his first disc of several discs for Concord, “Desert Lady,” featuring Hank Jones, Dave Holland, and Victor Lewis, followed by the acclaimed “I’ll Be Seeing You” with Benny Green, Peter Washington, and Lewis Nash, and finally, “Tenority” in 1996. Since then, he has released several albums on a variety of labels. A long time favourite of Edmonton jazz audiences, this event will celebrate Lew’s 70th birthday featuring his outstanding New York trio. 8 March/April 2010 when...

Carlo has been named the Maple Blues Award’s Harmonica Player of the Year seven times. With seven recordings also on his resume and a reputation for excellent live performances, Carlos is always a big hit with harp fans, blues fans and jazz fans. Charlie” Roberts that won Carlos the 1996 Jazz Report Blues Musician Of The Year Award. Just Your Fool, a sizzling live session with Kevin Breit, was recorded in 1995. In 1993, Carlos del Junco won two gold medals at the Hohner World Harmonica Championship in Trossingen, Germany; judged the world’s best in both the diatonic blues and the diatonic jazz categories. With his 2008 release, Steady Movin’ (Northern Blues), Carlos solidified his reputation in the world of music. Here’s what John Valentyn of the Toronto Blues Society had to say about Steady Movin’ : “The eagerly anticipated successor to ‘Blues Mongrel’ is here and is worth the wait. It is primarily acoustic and perhaps even more of a demonstration of his prowess on the humble harmonica... as before there are harp positions and keys listed for every song, but never does technical prowess get in the way of enjoyment of the music.” Carlos is certainly not your straight ahead blues harmonica player. His influences range far and wide and he can quickly move from a straight ahead blues groove into more adventurous territory which may include jazz, Latin, New Orleans second line grooves, or ska. He will occasionally take a blues standard and flip it upside down to breathe new life into it. Playing a ten-hole diatonic harmonica, Carlos has developed the unique ability to play chromatically by using an “overblow” technique taught to him by jazz virtuoso Howard Levy. Among his recording credits are Blues Mongrel (2005, Big Reed Records), Up and At ‘Em (2001, Big Reed Records) and Big Road Blues, a collaborative effort with Thom “Champagne when...

Brian has forged an international reputation as a jazz guitarist and world-class performer, including tours and recordings with Loreena McKennitt, and an extensive career as a jazz front man. Here’s an excerpt from his website which outlines his talents as a contemporary jazz guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and producer: His first two albums, “Between Dusk” and “Dreaming and Under One Sky,” firmly established him as one of the foremost guitarists and composers in the genre, perfectly blending his fluid and emotive guitar style into an exciting, melodic mix of Latin, Jazz and World Music compositions. After being picked as a winner in JAZZIZ Magazine’s “Guitars On Fire” competition his subsequent recordings “Straight To You,” “One 2 One,” “Shakin’ not Stirred” and “Along the Way” have received critical acclaim and major radio air play from coast to coast. With his sizzling fret work and infectious compositions the media are accurate in saying: “Both a great artist and an accessible one. His passion is so obvious, intense and contagious, that his audience shares it.” Brian has received the SOCAN/BMI “Jazz & Instrumental Composer of the Year” Award six times from 1997 to 2006 and the title track from “Shakin’ Not Stirred” was featured on an episode of HBO’s “Sex and the City”. Also well known for his 20 year parallel career performing and recording with world renowned vocalist Loreena McKennitt, Brian’s skills as a musician (guitars, oud, bouzouki) and his production talents are evident on her platinum recording “An Ancient Muse,” the concert DVD “Nights From The Alhambra,” filmed in Granada, 10 March/April 2010 Spain and her past seven multi-platinum recordings. and received a Juno (Canadian Grammy) nomination as “Producer of the Year” for his work on the platinum selling Loreena McKennitt album “The Visit.” Brian has also produced several international Platinum-selling albums for Greek recording artists Evanthia Reboutsika, Yannis Kotsiras and Panayotis Kalantzopoulos, including the soundtrack for “A Touch of Spice” the top grossing film in Greek cinema history. He has also accompanied Celtic music legends, The Chieftains, on several tours. when...

She is a Juno nominee and was nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2009 National Jazz Awards. Melody’s latest CD EQ was recorded in 2008 on Cellar Live. The album transcends musical genres to deliver a vibrant, highly original milestone.

The Jump, as they were often known, performed throughout Western Canada, with an unprecedented three and a half year house gig at Earl’s Tin Palace in Edmonton. They appeared many times on television and radio, and were featured on a CBC Variety recording called Jazz Notes in 1992. Also in that year, they won an ARIA Award as best jazz group, for the recording Both Feet. “Jump To It” was recorded locally at Edmontone Studio and features some of Alberta’s finest musicians, many of whom will be playing with Dave at the CD release. This self-produced album features several original compositions that showcase Dave’s smooth vocals and soulful saxophone in a variety of settings, from trio to 11-piece.
