    Time: 8:00 PM

    Date: Fri May 15th 2009

    Donation: ($10 suggested) proceeds to Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade (COAT) - http://coat.ncf.ca/

    The 3 JIMMYS met while tree planting in the woods of Northern Ontario near Hearst. Between seedlings, they would sing themes from Mary Tyler Moore, Colt 45 Beer, Davey Crockett, and Monty Python; these would later become mainstays of their sing-along repertoire.

    Tunes that groove and are inspired by the loon, wolf and night sky: For all we Know, Lost in the Stars…

    Inspired by trips to town: How Dry I Am, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), Zippity Do Da; and a lost pet by a trailer-dwelling herb-grower from Geraldton, Chameleon.

    A crazy guy who we met was Old Dan Tucker from Alabama. The sight of Barrhavan, upon returning to Ottawa, reminded us of Little Boxes on the hillside…

    Jeremy Sills—Voice, Trumpet, Singing Bowls

    Rob Frayne—Rhodes, Moog, Sax

    Wayne Eagles—Guitar

    Martin Newman—Bass

    Long-time collaborators, guitarist Wayne Eagles and drummer Bruce Wittet are pleased to introduce their new duo project. Blending ambient, avant-garde textures with more melodic contemporary jazz structures, the Ottawa area musicians weave a unique musical tapestry. Subtly incorporating real-time looping technology, the duo emphasizes interaction, interplay and improvisation in the context of original compositions and unique arrangements.

  14. Kevin Breit clinic @ Carleton University (Feb.25)

    Jesse's been running a noon hour concert series at noon on Fridays in the Music department (A900 Loeb). Pay what ya can... Much of the series has been adjunct faculty (I'm playing next week - will post info) - Jesse's played several times. Great player, great guy...

    I've heard Jesse's duo CD w/ Kevin, "Collisions". It's terrific - a really compelling live set recorded at the Guelph Jazz Festival. I'll add a link when I have one...

    (perhaps someone can add this to the Calendar)

    From Jesse Stewart, Carleton University Music professor & percussionist - Jesse_Stewart@carleton.ca

    On Wednesday Feb. 25, my good friend guitarist Kevin Breit will be in town doing a clinic and a performance with me in Studio A in the Loeb Building (9th floor, A Tower). I'm still working out the details on this one, but it looks like things will get underway at 7:30 pm and tickets will be $15. Kevin and I have a new duo record that just came out last week on the C3R label titled "Collisions".

    Kevin's list of performing/recording credentials is staggering--it ranges from work with Bill Frisell to Norah Jones, from Holly Cole to Cassandra Wilson, from kd lang to the Guess Who. In my estimation (and that of many others) he is one of the finest guitarists in Canada, if not the planet. Seriously.
