The music starts here
Hi, Folks!
I’ll be playing in Edmonton a few times this month, as follows:
June 5-7 at Four Rooms w/Thom Bennett on drums
June 20-22 on the street corners downtown and in Old Strathcona during the Edmonton International Jazz Festival. (These will be in the 11am - 4pm time frame, so if you happen to be checking out the Jazz fest during those times, listen for me on the street.)
Looking forward to playing again!
Hi, Folks!
I had a telephone interview with Jona Rapoport for broadcast March 30th and April 2, 2008 on Radio-Shalom in Montreal. This is internet radio, so go to this link:
Thanks for listening!
Hi, Folks!
I guess I’m not up to speed on how to post a separate page, but I had created a page for my upcoming gigs, and it didn’t appear…..anyway, I played at 4 Rooms in Edmonton on March 7 and 8th, with Thom Bennett on drums, Mo Lefever on guitar, and Jeff Johnson on bass. A good time was had by all! This coming Friday, March 28, at 8pm, I will be hosting my spring recital in the Recital Theatre at Keyano College. I say hosting, because I will be featuring all of our jazzy faculty and tunes of their choosing, in addition to premiering two new works of my own. We’ll have Thom Bennett on drums, Mo Lefever on guitar, Mike Lent on bass, and we’ll be featuring Joel Gray on trumpet and Laura Glover on vocals.
If you’re in town, please come out and have a listen!
Howdy folks!
My old friend Jona Rapoport from Montreal is the host of a radio show in Montreal called “Art & Fine Living with Jona”. She will be playing my music on her show this Sunday, January 20th. Check out: http://www.radio-shalom.ca/showemission.php?ID=1015 at 7pm Eastern Standard Time!
On another note, if any of you have any comments on the cd, please feel free to give me feedback.
Happy New Year!
Hi, Folks!
Just wanted to say that I’m very excited to have been given some airplay on a few stations across the country; CKUA in Edmonton, CINQ 102.3 FM Montreal, and Jazz FM in Toronto! So, thank you to those music programmers who have had a listen and been kind enough to spin my disc on-air: Roger Levesque, Don Berner, Moz Taylor, and Brad Barker. I’ve sent out copies to a few more places, but I’ve not heard whether “Low-down, No-good…” is getting played elsewhere. But hey, ask your local station to play your favourite track. (Those of you with any experience in the music world know how difficult it is to generate “buzz”….)
Bill Prouten’s CD Low-down, No-good… is his first release, and a good introduction to his style of jazz. Please take some time and have a listen under the music section. The CD will be available for purchase online shortly.
The website is just coming together now… its being updated hourly!
