The Jerry Cans and New North Collective
2018-10-04 20:00 | Koerner Hall, 273 Bloor Street West, Toronto, Canada
The Jerry Cans create music inspired by their hometown of Iqaluit, Nunavut, and life in the Canadian Arctic. With their unique mix of traditional Inuit throat singing and roots-rock sung in the Indigenous language of Inuktitut, The Jerry Cans offer a distinctly northern sound and infectious, high-energy performances. “Robust roots-rock, gruff Inuk throat singing, beery Celtic punk … There’s plenty in this ensemble’s tank.” (The Globe and Mail)
The New North Collective (NNC) is an ensemble of northern Canadian performing artists from Yukon and Northwest Territories whose music focuses on an in-depth look at being a northern person and a northern artist with the impact of geography and community on the music they create collaboratively. The music is diverse and skillful, representative of a multitude of genres include jazz, folk, new music, spoken word, and rock. While exploring and pushing musical boundaries, there is a common goal to discard the stereotypes of the region and the people who live in rural and remote northern communities.

STEVEN TAETZ ENSEMBLE- Album Launch @ Jazz Bistro
2018-09-30 19:00 - 21:30 | Jazz Bistro, 251 Victoria Street, Toronto, Canada
On September 30, we celebrate Steven Taetz’s new album Drink You In. This evening will include special performances by leaders in Canadian jazz, including Nathan Hiltz – guitar, Drew Jurecka – violin, clarinet, etc!, Ewen Farncombe – keys, Soren Nissen – bass, Eric West – drums, and featured special guest vocalists Melissa Lauren and Denielle Bassels.
Produced by award-winning producer and musician Drew Jurecka (Jill Barber, Payadora), the new album features classic swing standards, and new vintage-pop originals cowritten with Barbra Lica, Melissa Lauren, Sonia Johnson, and Tia Brazda. The album features duets with Brazda and Johnson, as well as performances by Canadian jazz leaders like Kevin Turcotte, John Macleod, Ernesto Cervini, and many more. The album has already received rave reviews from critics, and radio play worldwide.
“There are great vocalists, from Sinatra to Bublé, who effortlessly straddle the border between jazz and pop; there are plenty of great songwriters; and the annals of great interpreters stretches from Bing and Billie to Dee Dee and Diana. But Steven Taetz is one of a rare breed, seamlessly succeeding across all three. Whether tender and romantic or sharp and sassy, he is a unique, arresting talent, blending the charismatic charm of Harry Connick Jr. with the mischievous postmillennial élan of Jamie Cullum.”
-Christopher Loudon(Senior Vocal Critic – JazzTimes Magazine)
