Cleo Laine & Sheila Jordan Toronto Jazz November/December 2013 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.

  • Music Teacher Biographies 2015
    Music Teacher Biographies Upper Canada College is privileged to have 15 private instrumental music teachers who complement our curricular music programs. They all teach at both the Prep and Upper School and many of them play in professional performance groups outside the school as well as teach for the TDSB or other independent schools. The teachers prepare pupils for performances, examinations, auditions and festivals or help with the repertoire that is learned in music class or band. Boys who are exposed to weekly music lessons, choir or band rehearsals, creative movement, or general music classes reap many benefits. Music develops self-discipline, self-esteem and increased organizational skills. Ensemble experience also builds teamwork. Band members or choristers learn the importance of being a reliable member of a group. Please find below an introduction to the private teachers. Clarinet Ms. Michele Verheul Michele Verheul holds a Master of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music.

  • Compositions for Guitar Quartet: Suite for 24 Strings the Canadian
    Compositions for Guitar Quartet: Suite For 24 Strings The Canadian Landmarks Suite Daron McColl A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Graduate Program in Music York University Toronto, Ontario April 2019 © Daron Malcolm McColl, 2019 Abstract This thesis combines the score of an original work by Daron McColl for Guitar Quartet entitled “The Canadian Landmarks Suite”, for guitar quartet, plus a written analysis including process, intent, and methodology behind the works. In my analysis I will explore my personal process and challenges in completing this project. The suite was written to fill a gap in the guitar quartet repertoire and features themes that are based on a Canadian context and the celebration of the arts within Canada. The themes in the suite represent my personal experiences with places and nature that have impacted me, as well the composition is modeled after many of my musical influences. The score is a collection of works intended for a modern guitar player, who is experienced playing in both, commercial music and jazz settings, as well as having some knowledge of classical guitar repertoire. This collection of works is intended to be a departure from the conventional guitar quartet because, it is written specifically for steel string guitar rather then nylon string. The works also include parts that explore the extended techniques and timbres specific to the guitar. ii Acknowledgments Undertaking this project has been a journey that could not have been done alone. This acknowledgment is a small way that I can say thank you and express my gratitude.

  • GRAMMY® Award-Winning Vocalist Catherine Russell to Release New Album, Alone Together — Available March 1, 2019 on Dot Time Records
    GRAMMY® Award-winning Vocalist Catherine Russell to Release New Album, Alone Together — Available March 1, 2019 on Dot Time Records 13 Compositions Asking Timeless Questions and Searching for Truth International Tour Runs February 10 - May 26 “She virtually stands alone on today’s jazz landscape.” — Los Angeles Times “...sassy, sexy, humorous, reflective, and joyous.” — DownBeat (Five Stars) “A voice that wails like a horn and whispers like a snake in the garden of eden.” — NPR Stream Tracks From Alone Together 173 BRIGHTON AVE | BOSTON, MA | 617-254-0007 | thekurlandagency.com Alone Together, vocalist Catherine Russell’s seventh studio album as a leader, is a search for truth. Drawing on composers and lyricists of The Great American Songbook — Irving Berlin, Eddie de Lange and Jimmy Van Heusen — along with songwriters from the Swing and Rhythm & Blues eras — Nat Cole, Louis Jordan, and Al Dubin and Harry Warren — Russell invigorates their creations. At the center is Russell’s voice, and while comparisons to Ella, Billie, Sarah, and Dinah abound—while flattering—she has a sound all her own. “Blues infused jazz tunes are the ones I gravitate towards, because they enable me to freely express myself in the moment,” says Russell. Catherine Russell is a native New Yorker, born into musical royalty. Her father, the late Luis Russell, was a legendary pianist/composer/bandleader and Louis Armstrong's long-time musical director. Her mother, Carline Ray, was a pioneering vocalist/guitarist/bassist who performed with International Sweethearts of Rhythm, Mary Lou Williams, Sy Oliver, and countless others. The songs on Alone Together ask timeless questions.

He was born into a musical family in Havana and, after graduating from Cuba’s Amadeo Roldan Conservatory, he experienced the waning days of the glorious orchestras that drove musical innovation on the city’s scene. In the 1970s, Hilario Durán was Chucho Valdés’s chosen successor in Cuba’s most modern big band, Orquesta Cubana de Música Moderna; years later, Durán joined trumpeter Arturo Sandoval’s band for nine years, touring worldwide and performing with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Michel Legrand, among many others.
