Show time 9:30pm The new Bayou is in the spot where the Underground used to be. The corner of Bank and Sunnyside. Much bigger room with a pool table and big screen TV.......let's giver Paying homage to the music of late-sixties, early-seventies era Miles Davis, THE BITCHES BREW TRIBUTE BAND performs selections from such seminal recordings as In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, and A Tribute to Jack Johnson. Long considered significant milestones in the development of jazz-rock fusion, these recordings mix a variety of styles from r&b and free jazz to atmospheric and world music textures. The impact of these Miles Davis sessions is apparent in the funk, hip-hop, psychedelic, jam-band and contemporary jazz music released since the early-seventies. In existence for several years performing to appreciative audiences - including a well-received performance the 2002 Ottawa International Jazz Festival - THE BITCHES BREW TRIBUTE BAND is respectful of the original recordings while still showcasing the diverse improvisational voices of the experienced musicians in the ensemble. In the Fall of 2003, two members of the group - guitarist Wayne Eagles and bassist Mike Milligan - will be recording a CD with acclaimed drummer Billy Kilson, best known for his work with the Dave Holland Quintet. Rob Frayne – saxophone & keyboards Rob Frayne plays with Four Little Cars, Chelsea Bridge, the Angstones, a Roland Kirk tribute band, and has been featured on more than twenty Canadian recordings. Past concerts and recordings with: the Shuffle Demons, Mary-Margaret O-Hara, Mary Ann Price, the Cuban Fence Climbers, Gil Evans Orchestra, Claude Ranger, Fred Stone, Kenny Wheeler, Roddy Ellias, Freeplay, and Hemispheres. In addition to many Canadian jazz festivals and concert tours, Rob has played at the Bluenote NYC, the Washington Jazz Festival, and the Molde Jazz Festival in Norway. Rob teaches jazz theory and history at Carleton University. Clyde Forsberg – trumpet & keyboards Clyde Forsberg holds a Ph.D. in American social and cultural history, but he also holds a trumpet in the wee hours of the morning, playing with such Canadian jazz greats as long-time friend, Rob Frayne, playing in the Chelsea Bridge Tentet along side Kevin Turcotte. In Kingston, a sizzling Latin-jazz group, Pico Degallo (lips of the chicken) is his mainstay these days where his electric trumpet spices things up. For the last several years, he's become involved in experimental musical theatre, starting with the “Ice Storm” and then a stormy play about his debt to Louis Armstrong, which sold out at the Arts Centre last year. A third play, “The Penis Diaries”, recently played at the NAC’s Fourth Stage. Wayne Eagles – guitar A musician for over 25 years and a professional guitar instructor for over 15 years, Wayne has music-related BA, BA Hons, and MA degrees. An Endorsing Artist for G&L Guitars and Matamp UK amplifiers, he’s a Guitar Performance Instructor at HYPERLINK "http://www.carleton.ca" Carleton University's School for Studies in Art and Culture (SSAC: Music). Wayne maintains a busy private music-teaching schedule and was Concert Manager for the Carleton University Committee on Cultural Activities (UCCA). Wayne latest recording is How’s Now? on the Carleton Sound label. Mike Milligan – double bass In a career that has spanned over twenty years, Mike Milligan has worked with such international jazz stars as David Liebman, Chet Baker, Ritchie Beirach, David Binney, Butch Morris, Sonny Greenwich, Don Thompson and many more. Mike has also toured Europe and Canada extensively with the widely known group The Shuffle Demons and has won many awards, including first place at an international competition in Vienne, France, with an ensemble called Life on Mars. For the past twelve years has been writing solo bass material and recorded a solo bass CD entitled Solo Flights which has garnered praise from the public and media alike.
