Rebecca Hennessy's FOG Brass Band: Two Calls

Read "Two Calls" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Toronto-based trumpeter Rebecca Hennessy's FOG Brass Band, on Two Calls, sounds at times like a traditional brass band. The disc's, opening cut, “Red Herring," features a jumpy, tuba-driven rhythm, a soaring trombone solo, a frenetic trumpet turn with a scintillating piano backdrop, followed by Don Scott's hard rock electric guitar interlude.

Don Scott: Out of Line

Read "Out of Line" reviewed by John Kelman


Balancing the cerebral with the visceral is a challenge, especially in contemporary jazz that takes a more sophisticated approach to composition. Toronto-based guitarist Don Scott strikes a fine balance with Out of Line, a debut that combines the more oblique approach of artists like Kurt Rosenwinkel, David Binney and Dave Douglas with unshakable--albeit at times complex--grooves ...
