Brian Lynch

MULTIPLE GRAMMY© AWARD WINNER; 6 GRAMMY NOMINATIONS; JJA (Jazz Journalists Association) TRUMPETER OF THE YEAR & RECORD OF THE YEAR

“This is a new millennium, and a lot of music has gone down,” Brian Lynch said a number of years back. “I think that to be a jazz musician now means drawing on a wider variety of things than 30 or 40 years ago. Not just to play a little bit of this or a little bit of that, but to blend everything together into something that has integrity and sounds good. Not to sound like a pastiche or abruptly shifting styles; but like someone with a lot of range and understanding.”

Tina Hartt

Tina Hartt is a singer, composer and musician native to Montreal. She has enjoyed a diverse singing career spanning all over Canada: rock bands and church choirs in Montreal, Big Bands and jazz ensembles in Toronto, and acting/singing/dancing in Nova Scotia and PEI.

In 2014 she moved out west to Calgary, and decided to focus on jazz. Going back to her french roots, she has dusted off some old french chansons (ie: Brel, Aznavour and Piaf) and given them new life by combining the romance of the french with Latin rhythms and jazz harmonies. These elements are the foundation for her original material, and give a freshness to her interpretations of jazz standards. Tina’s instrumental choices of violin, clarinet, accordion and congas along with piano, bass and drums create a unique sound that compliment both the French paroles or English lyrics and her arrangements make excellent use of these instrumental colours, especially in her original compositions.

Jimmy Hobson

Born: June 9, 1952

Drums are as fascinating to me now as in my first ten years of life - Unable to look away from the Sears catalog drum page under my bed covers & to this day catching myself staring at the drums on stage or in the studio.

My first snare drum arrived Christmas day 1965... seven days later the neighbors gave me a practice pad to keep the noise down.

As a beginner I had great difficulty with the rules, grammar and logic of "How to play drums"  which in my childhood A.D.D. state put a limitation on my creative spirit. Questions like "Why does the dominate hand have to hit the ride cymbal? Can't I hit any drum whenever I want as long as the time keeps flowing? Fortunately this incomprehension was a lucky youthful gift - Unconsciousnessly I kept pretty good linear time with my movements around the drums connecting to a groove.
