100 years ago today, Oscar Peterson was born in Montréal. His music inspired me from my very first jazz solo transcription to hearing him live in Erlangen — moments that set me on my path as a musician. Happy Centennial, Oscar!
Wildfires and an airline strike nearly stopped us — but thanks to our amazing firefighters, the fire near St. John’s has been held back, and Heather is on her way.
Join us Sunday night at Slainte — spots are filling fast, so call ahead!

First review’s in for Seascape — thanks to Modern Drummer for the kind words 🙏 “A beautiful recording with a well-conceived concept…” Grateful to be part of this band with Norma Winstone, Mike Murley, Jim Vivian & Joe LaBarbera.
This is probably my favourite track on the album! "Distant Star" based on Maria Schneider's "A Potter's Song" with original lyrics by Norma Winstone is out now. It features a beautiful soprano solo by Mike Murley. Album drops May 2nd. #AtlanticJazzCollective#Seascape#NormaWinstone#jazz#newmusic
I am excited to share that I have been nominated as classical composer of the year for my work on the Iris Trio's album "Project Earth: The Blue Chapter". Thanks to the trio for trusting me with the compositions for this beautiful project! Congratulations to all the other nominees! #ProjectEarth
