Sweetastic

I co-wrote and recorded this tune with great friend and pianist Thomas Francis in the spring of 2009. We play this tune in a band called T.S. Soul. Visit their site here.

Thomas Francis - piano, John Meyer - Bass, Santino DeVilla - Drums.

 

Accepted For Value

I recorded this new tune of mine in May of 2009 at Humber College with Kirk MacDonald's ensemble. I can't say much about the inspiration behind this tune, but type the name in google and something will come up.

Carl Bray - piano, Mikko Hildon - guitar, Chris Virtue - bass, and Will Fisher - drums.

 

If I Could Hear You

This is a great tune by rising-star pianist Hannah Kim. We recorded this at Humber College in the Fall of 2008 for an event at the College. The session was really fun and the tracks turned out great.

Jon Challoner - trumpet, Hannah Kim - piano, Chris Virtue - bass, and Will Fisher - drums.

 

Chromazone

I recorded this Mike Stern tune with the Humber College Studio Jazz Ensemble directed by Denny Christianson, for the lastest CD entitled "Prologue" released on Humber Records in 2009. We also performed this with Mike for a speicial concert in 2008 at the College.

 

Renaissance

This was recorded at The Club at the Banff Centre last May with Chris Donnelly's group.

Cam McAllister - trumpet, Chris Donnelly - piano/composition, Chris Van Voorst - bass, Mark Micklethwaite - drums.

 

The NAME Game

I recently recorded this new composition at the Banff Centre last May with Building Blocks. The inspiration behind this tune is the creation of a legal entity or Strawman by the defacto powers that be, when a child is born and registered. For more info, check out this video here.

Jon Challoner - trumpet, Alex Goodman - piano, Justin Gray - bass, and Adam Texiera - drums.

 

Mistaken Perception

This tune was recorded in September 2007, for the West Coast CBC radio show Hot Air. The tune was inspired by the saying that "things are not always what they seem to be or what you perceive them to be".

Amanda Tosoff - Piano, Sean Cronin- Bass, Morgan Childs- Drums.

 

Shift

This tune also recorded for CBC's Hot Air radio show. This composition is by Vancouver bassist Sean Cronin.
