Today is Monday

Here’s a little jazz music to get your week started off right.

I love this rhythm section and as always I’m simply in awe of both Hank Jones and Billy Higgins. Check out “The Oracle” to hear more of Hank Jones, DAve Holland and Billy Higgins.

What’s up this week? Katie Malloch appreciation night at the Jazz Cellar.

Here are the official particulars from the Cellar’s website:

CORY WEEDS QUINTET AND GUESTS

Featuring CORY WEEDS saxes, TILDEN WEBB piano, JODI PROZNICK bass, JESSE CAHILL drums and BILL COON guitar

Katie Malloch, the much-loved voice of jazz in Canada on CBC Radio, has recently announced her retirement from the airwaves. Katie has hosted a number of jazz programs on CBC: That Midnight Jazz, Jazzbeat, and most recently, Tonic.

To thank jazz fans across Canada who have enjoyed her broadcasts over the years, Katie is inviting her audience to an evening of great music at The Cellar on Wednesday, January 25.

She will be on stage with The Cory Weeds Quintet and guests Melody Diachun (vocals), Cam Ryga (alto sax), Chris Gestrin (organ), and Chad Makela (baritone sax). First set is at 7:30 pm, second at 9:30 pm.
Come meet Katie and hear some great music! To reserve, call 604 738-1959. Tickets are free.

I’ll have a full report from this event Thursday or Friday.
