On Monday, September 28, 2015, I attended a performance by the Wintergarten Orchestra at the Monarch Tavern. (click on any photo to see a larger version)

The orchestra’s music style is a tribute to the music of the Weimar Republic and Prohibition era from the 1920s and 1930s. The bandleader is Bill Beecroft, who plays the trombone.

Wintergarten is an unusual ensemble that puts the sounds of violins, piano, drums, guitar, banjo, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and trombone together. Along with these instruments, the band has two vocalists: Ted Atherton and Tanya Wills.

Ted Atherton acts as the frontman for the group and introduces each song. Some songs are just instrumental pieces and others have Ted and/or Tanya singing along with the band.

The band played many old songs like “What Is This Thing Called Love,” “Happy Feet,” “Cheek To Cheek,” and “Alabama Stomp” to name but a few.

The Wintergarten Orchestra has published a CD containing 12 wonderful songs. You can purchase a copy at any performance of the orchestra. Check their Facebook page for details on their upcoming performances.

A Jazz Safari with JAZZ.FM91

I am a regular listener to a jazz radio station in my hometown of Toronto, Canada. JAZZ.FM91 is a non-profit radio station and in order to keep the station running, they have donor campaigns from time to time. (click on any photo to see a larger version)

During their last campaign drive, I decided to donate $250, for which I was given one seat on a Jazz Safari. There are three types of safaris. The classic safari rents a bus (a.k.a. the “magic” bus) that goes to four or five different jazz clubs. The timing is such that we get to a club just as a set is about to begin. When the set is over, we get back on the bus and travel to the next club.

There is also a one-stop safari going to a single club with multiple acts.

They also have international jazz safaris where you visit the jazz scene in different cities and countries. JAZZ.FM91 recently had a safari to Iceland. They have also visited places like New Orleans, New York City, and Monterey. Their next international safari goes to Cuba for a week in January 2016.

The host for these safaris is the amazing Jaymz Bee. There is never a dull moment with Jaymz and his stories on the magic bus.

My first jazz safari began with everyone meeting at Kama restaurant, which is known for classical Indian cuisine. Our meeting time was 6 p.m., which gave us time to enjoy the buffet before boarding the magic bus at 6:50 p.m.

While enjoying our meal, we were entertained by a fabulous vocalist, Geneviève Marentette, along with pianist Robert Scott.

At 6:50 p.m. we left Kama and had to walk a couple of blocks to get on the magic bus. Normally the bus would have picked us up right outside Kama, but TIFF was on and King Street West was blocked off.

About thirty minutes later, we arrived at safari stop number two, Gate 403 on Roncesvalles Avenue. Performing was vocalist Denise Leslie along with David Restivo on piano and Pat Collins on bass. Denise, David and Pat provided us with a great 40-minute set and I was able to have enough time to enjoy a beer while we listened. It is worth noting that any food or drink is your own responsibility; the safari does not cover those items.

You can find a brief video of Denise by clicking here.

Shortly after 8 p.m. we were back on the bus for a short 10-minute ride to stop number three, the Home Smith Bar, which is located in the Old Mill at 21 Old Mill Road.

Performing for us were John MacMurchy on tenor sax and clarinet, Mark Kieswetter on piano, Ross MacIntyre on bass and Daniel Barnes on drums. I really enjoyed the Home Smith Bar, which has great acoustics due to carpeting and upholstered chairs.

Back on the bus, and twenty minutes later we arrived at stop number four. We were at an old church which now serves as Dovercourt House. Friday night was Swing Dance night. It was great to see so many young people really dancing and enjoying live music provided by the Mike Daley Quartet: Mike Daley guitar, Lowell Whitty drums, Michael Herring bass and Jordan Klapman on keyboard.

Jaymz Bee was correct when he told us that Dovercourt House has probably the cheapest liquor prices in town. I ordered a double J&B on the rocks and it was $7.50!

It was now shortly after 10 p.m. and we boarded the bus for our fifth and final stop, The Monarch Tavern. Performing was an ensemble put together by tenor sax man Scott Marshall. Along with Scott were pianist David Restivo whom we had seen earlier in the evening accompanying Denise Leslie, Dave Young, legendary bassist with the Oscar Peterson trio, Terry Clarke on drums, and Kevin Turcotte on trumpet.

Scott’s theme for the evening was a tribute to Miles Davis. The ensemble played many famous Miles Davis tunes to the delight of everyone in the club.

A short video can be found here.

His final stop was at the King Edward Hotel where the last four of us got off at midnight. I shared a cab with a fellow safari attendee who happened to live in my neighbourhood.

Here are all the places we visited that evening. Click this link for detailed Google Maps information.Jazz Safari Google Map stop locations

As I mentioned, this was my first jazz safari. Many of the others on the safari had done multiple safaris in the past. Will I do another one? Absolutely! It would be tough to cover that many clubs in one evening on your own. And with transportation and cover charges all taken care of for you, I think it’s great value and it goes towards helping radio station JAZZ.FM91.

And with apologies to all the bass players we saw on the safari (my father was a bass player), here is one of Jaymz’s jokes:

“A man decides to go on a vacation on a Pacific island. When he steps off the plane, it is amazing: cool, light ocean breeze, palms gently swaying in the wind, white sandy beaches, drums off in the distance. He goes to his hotel, checks in, starts having the time of his life.

When he turns in on the first night, he can still hear drums off in the distance. They were charming at first, but now it’s a little annoying, and he has a hard time going to sleep. The next morning, he goes to the concierge and asks about the drums. The concierge replies, “The drums, they never stop. Very, very bad if they stop.”

So the man goes about his day in paradise, having a great time, but the drums never stop. He tries to ignore them, but they interfere with his sleep the second night. The next morning, fuzzy-headed from too many island drinks and too little sleep, he again asks the concierge if something can be done about the drums. He gets the same reply: “Drums not stop. Very bad if they do.”

The rest of the day is not fun. The drums are driving this man crazy, and he isn’t getting any sleep. The next day he is ready leave. He packs his bags and goes up to the front desk to check out. But first the man finds the concierge to give the concierge a piece of his mind. Suddenly, the drums stop.

He says to the concierge: “They finally stopped! Thank god, I can get some sleep. I was about the leave.”

The concierge says: “This is bad. Very, very bad. Flee from this island while you still can.”

“Why?”

“Drums stop. Bass solo next.”

On August 4, 2015, Toronto radio station Jazz.FM91 kicked off its World Music Series at a local jazz club, Hugh’s Room. The series consists of five performances highlighting music from around the world with both international and local jazz artists. (click on any photo to see a larger version)

July_23_JazzFMDaniloPérezLTA_9_2015-07-23_20-21-34_1PV_9682

The first performance featured Etienne Charles from Trinidad and Tobago. He was backed up by an all-star band of local Toronto musicians: Robi Botos (piano), Otis Williams (drums), John Maharaj (bass), and Braxton Hicks (tenor saxophone).

At 8 p.m. Jazz.FM91 producer and host Jaymz Bee welcomed us and introduced Etienne.

Danilo Pérez Live-To-Air at Jazz.FM91

My love of jazz started at a very early age. My father was a classically trained pianist, but he grew weary of the classical genre of music, and his interest switched to jazz. He took up playing the upright bass and later, the electric bass guitar.

Jazz music was always being played on records in our house or listened to on the radio at CJRT-FM. The letters JRT in their call sign stood for “Journalism, Radio, Technology.” My dad played Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Woody Herman, Buddy Rich and João Gilberto, to name but a few.

My dad always listened to Ted O’Reilly who hosted “The Jazz Scene,” which started in 1965. In 2001, CJRT went to a full 24-hour jazz format under the name Jazz.FM91.

I listened to Jazz.FM91 off and on over the years but really started listening three years ago when I retired. Whenever I am working on my computer, Jazz.FM91 is on the radio.

Since the station is not-for-profit, it runs donation campaigns from time-to-time. On its last campaign, I decided to pledge $250 for a chance to attend a live-to-air broadcast featuring Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci and Brian Blade.

The live-to-air broadcast was held on Thursday, July 23 at the Jazz.FM91 studios located at 4 Pardee Avenue in Liberty Village. (click on any photo to see a larger version)

There were only 60 seats available for this performance. The doors opened at 6 p.m. and we were served sake and sushi courtesy of Sushi Couture.

From where I was seated in the theatre, I could not get a decent angle of Danilo while he was playing the piano. John Patitucci was center stage and Brian Blade was to my far right in the shadows and impossible to photograph from where I was sitting. The band went right into its first number, and it was amazing how these three musicians played off each other and were genuinely enjoying themselves.

Garvia was keeping everything on track and Danilo loved talking to the audience.

Another person who needs to be mentioned is Dani Elwell. Dani was helping out with microphone duties and other behind-the-scenes responsibilities.

Danilo is the artistic director for the Berklee Global Jazz Institute and brought out seven outstanding young jazz musicians to perform for us.

I wasn’t able to photograph all of the band members, but from left to right we had Ga Young Bae on piano, Edmar Colón on tenor saxophone, Roni Eytan on harmonica, Seungho Jang on bass, Michael Wang on trombone, Carlos Capacho on cuatro guitar, and Juan Saenz on drums. These talented young people hailed from Korea, Israel, USA, Venezuela and Mexico.

Once the performance was over and we were off the air, it was time for the after-party where we met Danilo, John and Brian. We were then treated to more music from the Berklee musicians and enjoyed wine and treats from Taverna Mercatto. There were numerous opportunities for everyone to take photographs.

It was funny that at the end of the broadcast, Danilo played a few chords of Happy Birthday, and the entire audience sang Happy Birthday to Brian Blade. Now I can say I have sung on the radio!

Danilo is an amazing person and musician. All of the on-air personalities at Jazz.FM91 have been commenting on how amazing and special this performance was. I agree. It was remarkable.

Would I attend another live-to-air? Absolutely! The staff and volunteers at Jazz.FM91 are a family and you can see that for yourself on your next visit.

Thank you, Danilo, for an amazing evening.
