LISTEN BEFORE YOU BUY: Seven new releases. Three feature guitarists, one is by an interesting young trombonist, one is by an innovative trio of clarinet, piano and drums, and two are by big bands; one pretty obscure and one highly-regarded [recorded at FIMAV 2005 in a tribute to Percy Heath].
We’ll also take time to welcome Spring and the wonderful and unique Sheila Jordan to Ottawa. [Sheila’s appearing at CafĂ© Paradiso April 13 and 14].
