2019 will see a collection of some of Canada’s finest Jazz artists coming together to form an all-star group for several shows, beginning in January.
Members of the ensemble include world-renown flugelhorn master and Officer of the Order of Canada Guido Basso, multiple JUNO-award winning saxophonist Mike Murley, internationally-recognized bassist and Officer of the Order of Canada Dave Young, JUNO-winning piano phenomenon Robi Botos, multi-faceted and in-demand drummer Davide DiRenzo, and JUNO-nominated vocalist Heather Bambrick.
This collection of highly respected members of the Canadian Jazz establishment will wow audiences in three shows planned for early 2019: January 23 at the First Ontario Performing Arts Centre in St. Catharines, January 24 at the Flato Markham Theatre in Markham, and January 25 at the Grand Theatre in Kingston. There are more shows to be announced later in the year.
For more information regarding this group, contact Robert Missen at the Bobolink Agency.
Heather, My wife and I were visiting Alan Ralston’s brother, Steve, in Ste Anne de Beaupré last week and he mentioned your gig at the National Club and decided on my return to Toronto I had to take it in. I loved every minute. Especially your unique Newfoundlander way of introducing each tune. After reading this weekend’s Opinion article by Mark Critch about “Small province, big heart” and after two holidays to the Rock in the last three years, I can only think how lucky Canada was to have that “yes” vote back in 1949. Music and great humour are a special blessing to the rest of us Canadians. Thank you for spreading the those good feelings on the stage and off! And good luck with the 2019 tour.
Hi Steve! Great to hear from you! Thanks so much for the note and kind words! I have to say: I’m so very proud that I am given the chance to share my love for my home province and that people appreciate the Newfoundland “vibe”! It’s tough living so far away form Home, but I’d like to think that I’d a bit of an “ambassador” for the province and that I do my part to ensure that people keep falling in love with it. Thanks a lot for the note, Steve. It really means a lot!!!
