Hours of operation are 12-9pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; and 12 – 5pm on Sunday. Visitors to the museum can experience our two new exhibits on the history of baseball and para sport. 160 Years of Baseball in New Brunswick documents the sport’s exciting history since the first recorded game was played in Chatham in 1853. Displays feature artefacts from some of the province’s most outstanding players, coaches, officials and teams from the late 1800s to today. The World of Parallel Sport tells the story of New Brunswick’s trailblazing wheelchair athletes and coaches whose successes at the international level helped build parallel sport in the province and Canada. Artefacts from the museum’s collection and modern adaptive equipment from Para NB’s Equipment Loan Service show the evolution of parallel sport since the end of the Second World War. The NB Sports Hall of Fame is located at 503 Queen Street in the John Thurston Clark Memorial Building, a national historic site in the heart of Fredericton's Garrison District. For further information, please contact Melynda Jarratt, Curator and Outreach Officer for the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame, at 453- 6405 or [email protected]. 2. Coming up at the Fredericton Playhouse Sept 11-25 September 11, 7:30pm Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival presents Tony Genge Trio with Phil Dwyer Canadian composer and pianist Tony Genge worked as a performer years before he undertook formal training at New York State University, McGill, and the University of Victoria. The style and influences in his music are increasingly diverse and he’s been characterized by his distinctive harmonic language, elegant orchestration and postmodern mix of musical elements. Originally from Canada’s West Coast, Phil Dwyer burst onto the international jazz scene in his late teens and was dubbed a saxophone prodigy by his early 20s. Dwyer sought out the action and excitement of New York City as a young man, where he met and sat in with some of the true jazz legends, including Art Blakey, “Philly” Joe Jones, and Rashid Ali. September 12, 7:30pm Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival presents John Hammond Grammy Award-winning musician and Blues Hall of Fame-inductee John Hammond is fifty years into his distinguished career, with no signs of slowing down. As early as 1962, John was touring the country with the likes of Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, who he once convinced to play together in his backing band. Besides his own albums – Hammond has released over thirty records – he also scored Dustin Hoffman’s Little Big Man and hosted the widely acclaimed British documentary The Search for Robert Johnson. More recently, Hammond collaborated with the iconic Tom Waits and Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo, with Waits saying of Hammond: “John’s sound is so compelling, complete, symmetrical and soulful… He’s a great force of nature.” September 13, 2pm Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival presents Laila Biali with Phil Dwyer Having recorded with pop icon Sting and toured four continents with acts like Chris Botti, Paula Cole, and Suzanne Vega, Canadian jazz pianist and vocalist Laila Biali has captured worldwide recognition. Her ability to take the best of pop, rock, classical, world and soul, and weave it into musical arrangements with her jazz expertise has made her a celebrated musician among both critics and peers.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound*
    A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound* Michael J. Doucet Abstract: One aspect of urban culture is examined to evaluate Toronto's position within the urban hierarchy, namely, the production of songs and sounds about the city. Although much music has been performed and created in Toronto over the years, and many songs have been urritten about a variety of features of life in the city, the musical images of Toronto remain largely unknown beyond its borders—even to many of the city's own residents. If Toronto is a "world-class city," the evidence for such a claim would have to be found on other dimensions than the one explored here. No one ever wrote / A single note / About Toronto. — Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster (19%) I find that lately, I'm missing old Toronto, Where bass is strong and drums are full of fire. — from the Lenny Breau song "New York City" (1987) No nation can exist by the balance sheet alone. Stories, song, dance, music, art and the rest are the lifeblood of a country, the cultural images defining a people just as surely as their geography and the gross national product. — Robert Lewis, editor of Maclean's (19%) Interestingly, though, we don't seem to have an immediately identifiable style. The last time anyone spoke about a 'Toronto Sound' [former Mayor] Alan Lamport was booting hippies out of Yorkville. Unlike a Nashville or Manchester, there isn't any one thing that makes you say 'That's Toronto' -- Bob Mackowycz, writer and broadcaster (1991) Toronto itself doesn't have a distinctive civic culture.
