  • B.C. Jazz Legend Performing with Ensemble Vivant Group by Mary Cocivera
    B.C. jazz legend performing with Ensemble Vivant group by Mary Cocivera Ensemble Vivant, a group of five musicians, will take the stage at the Kelowna Community Theatre Thursday to weave some musical magic, ranging from Bach to Piazzolla. Known for its wide-ranging genre diversity, the Toronto-based ensemble will feature music with a distinctly Latin flavour. Jazz musician Don Thompson returns to his native British Columbia for this Kelowna gig. Born and raised in Powell River, he started his 50 year musical career with piano lessons, but started jamming with jazz musicians in his teens and moved to Vancouver in the early 1960s to play bass in Lloyd Arntzen's Dixieland quartet. When the neck broke off his borrowed bass, he bought his own bass and became one of the go-to bassists for countless studio sessions in Vancouver. He taught himself to play vibraphone and was the only vibes player in all of Vancouver at the time. Thompson moved to California in the late 1960s, to play and tour with saxophonist John Handy. As a pianist, bassist, percussionist, composer, arranger and producer, he is described as a musician who can move flawlessly from vibes to bass to piano and sound virtuosic on each instrument. Thompson played in Jim Hall's trio, George Shearing's band and has collaborated with Moe Koffman, Ed Bickert, Rob McConnell, Lenny Breau, Sarah Vaughan, Kenny Wheeler, Art Farmer, Phil Dwyer and many others. He has performed in Europe, Japan, Great Britain, South America and at every major jazz festival in North America.

  • John Arpin (Canada) Ragtime Pianist Pianist John Arpin Has Long Been Regarded As One of the Most Versatile Performers on the Canadian Music Scene
    Kecskemét Jazz Foundation – Tamás Ittzés, H-6001 Kecskemét, Pf. 652., Hungary Phone: 20/82-447-82, E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.bohemragtime.com 16th International „Bohém” Ragtime & Jazz Festival March 23-25, 2007 Kecskemét, Erdei Ferenc Cultural Centre John Arpin (Canada) ragtime pianist Pianist John Arpin has long been regarded as one of the most versatile performers on the Canadian music scene. This talented artist composes, arranges, conducts, records and maintains a full concert schedule. He is as comfortable playing solo piano as he is performing in concert with full symphony orchestra and tours extensively throughout Canada, the United States, Europe and the Orient. John Arpin has been nominated for Juno Awards in Canada on three separate occasions and in October of 2000 celebrated a milestone with the release of his 60th career album (by 2005 he has recorded 67 albums). Though he plays everything from turn-of-the-century classics to jazz to Broadway show tunes, John Arpin's name has become synonymous with piano rags and he is respected as one of the top Ragtime musicians in the world today. In June of 1998 Mr. Arpin received the Scott Joplin Award (The Scott Joplin Foundation, Sedalia, Missouri) in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the field of Ragtime. The late Ragtime great Eubie Blake pronounced John Arpin "the Chopin of Ragtime", while The New York Times labeled him "the Richter of Ragtime". Born in Port McNicoll, Ontario, Mr. Arpin graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Music at the age of sixteen. After studying at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, John became active in the Toronto music scene accompanying opera singers and playing jazz with his trio and as a soloist, live and on radio, being a studio musician and arranging for television.

XV:18 (14’) Allegro moderato Andante Allegro BRAHMS Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano in A minor, Op. 114 (25’) Allegro Adagio Andantino grazioso Allegro — INTERMISSION — MENDELSSOHN Trio for Piano, Violin and Cello in C minor, Op. 66 (31’) Allegro energico e con fuoco Andante espressivo Scherzo: Molto allegro quasi presto Finale: Allegro appassionato Notes on the Program by Dr. Richard E. Rodda Trio No. 32 for Piano, Violin and Cello in A major, H. XV:18 Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) Composed in 1794. The history of the piano is far more than the mere recounting of the mechanical and technical development of an instrument — it is a virtual microcosm of the progress of modern Western civilization. The first keyboard instrument capable of responding to the varying touch of the player was the gravicembalo col piano e forte (“harpsichord with soft and loud”), invented in Florence in 1709 by Bartolomeo Cristofori. Cristofori’s instrument, whose sound was activated by a hammer thrown against a string according to the force of the pressure applied at the keyboard, allowed for gradations of dynamics that were impossible on the plucked-string harpsichord and was well suited to the growing demand for music that would more intimately mirror the passionate expression of the performer. It took Cristofori more than a decade to perfect the mechanism and several more years for various manufacturers to establish their trade in the instruments, but by the time Johann Sebastian Bach played one of the new fortepianos on his visit to the court of Frederick the Great at Berlin in 1747, he was able to declare his enthusiasm for it.

  • Robert G. Doyle July 3, 1932 - November 24, 2014
    Robert G. Doyle July 3, 1932 - November 24, 2014 rom humble beginnings amidst the depression era and the war rationed 40’s, Bobby Doyle began playing the piano as a 10-year-old youngster growing up in New FWestminster, B.C. He was introduced to the rudiments with sporadic lessons from an elderly teacher who lived in the neighborhood, but he wasn’t too keen on classical piano. Being interested in popular music, he spent hours practicing on his own during his teenage years while friends played outside, or as he put it, “doing something girls mostly did”. Immersing himself in music, he soon began working locally, “plunking away in cowboy bands” at age 15. At age 16 he made his radio debut on CKNW with Mike, Mark & Jack, The Rhythm Pals, appearing on the popular Bill Rea show. These early experiences spawned a 60 plus year career as a prominent Vancouver musician and private teacher. In the 50’s he moved to Vancouver and began working at The Flame and The Vancouver Lawn & Tennis Club. Throughout the 60’s and into the 70’s he was a house band member in three of Vancouver’s most prominent supper clubs starting at Izzy’s, often at The Cave and ending at Oil Can Harry’s. This coincided with a musical association lasting over 40 years alongside He was always Vancouver’s iconic Bobby Hales. These clubs played host to myriad well-known entertainers engaged and and music performers. It was a fruitful era for live music in the city and the opportunity to play alongside and/or accompany the stars of the day, including Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, listening to what Stan Getz, Buddy Rich, Mitzi Gaynor, Robert Goulet, Sherry Lewis, Jack Carter, Red Buttons, a was going on…he young up and coming Stevie Wonder, Chubby Checker and countless more.
