September In Toronto Made Evident ~ Music for Mind and Memory

My spring and summer were Turned up to Ten with teaching 400 art students and finishing my own art show, The Perception Of Danger

which we un-hung this past weekend.

So now the sounds are back in center frame and I've been able to get lots of entertational, infomusing and emotastic music into my ears this month.

Jaffa Road performed in front of the new Visitors' Center at Fort York on the last weekend of summer. It was uplifting

to hear music explicitly promoting peace on grounds where the terror and dehumanization

of soldiery were once cultivated.

The annual harvest of beats from around the globe began at http://torontoartscape.org/ this past week with the launch of 

The Small World Music Festival.

The Roberto Rosenman Quartet inaugurated a new comfortable listening space in the building with

advanced lighting and sound enhancements.

Jocelyn Barth and Clela Errington

brought an aura of serenity to the proceedings at

TNCC's Prayer for Peace on a mid-September Sunday

in Scarborough.

Saxo pilot Paul Metcalfe levitates while expressing a contretemps 

with gravity at the On Common Ground Festival

at Fort York. 

Drumhand's new Cd, Contretemps, is now available.

Allan Fraser and Marianne Girard awed a small crowd at

http://www.lazydaisyscafe.ca/

on Gerrard with beguiling songcraft and deep focus, just prior to heading into the studio

with legendary producer Paul Mills.

The virtuosic and original Sinner's Choir, labouring in the song mines

to extract nuggets of harmony and melodic ore are

regularly rocking the Cameron House on Tuesday nights.

Seen and heard here with the maverick sax miner Gene Hardy.

Critics Circling ~ Polaris Jury debriefing ~ Julia LeConte (NOW), Mark Teo (AUX), Liisa Ladouceur (Freelance), Melody Lau (MUCH) and moderator James Keast (EXCLAIM). The verdict: they are pleased with the reactions and validations accorded to the announcement of this year's winner, 

Tanya Tagaq.

If you missed Jane Bunnett and Maqueque 

who played their last show of a 4-month tour at a packed Hugh's Room,

at the end of September you missed a lot.

They collectively established a new high water mark

for virtuosic feminine musical identity, progressive jazz in Canada, 

the generational, international pride of young performers,

the supreme inspiration of Cuban musical innovation,

and the best jamming that Jane has ever grabbed down out of the ether.

Truly glorious.

Julian Taylor In Orbit Friday

Too well-dressed for casual radio, we will be beaming Julian Taylor into the Orbital Showroom via the Haberdash Module for some tunes and his takes on this past summer of shows in support of his wildly slick and totally sick       

Tech Noir

disk, 

released last May; and we will investigate his upcoming (Thursday and Friday) mission to rock the Horseshoe into submission.

Be aware or be so not there.

Jasmine Netsena: Winner

“Folk-rooted songstress Jasmine Netsena dazzles with her new debut album.”

- New Canadian Music 

Jasmine Netsena won Best Folk/Acoustic CD last week in the Aboriginal Peoples’ Choice Music Awards for her debut record “Take You With Me”. The awards feature emerging and established indigenous artists from all over North America.

Jasmine released her debut CD “Take You With Me” in April 2014, and since then has crossed the country doing over 30 shows in 7 provinces, in a few weeks span. Her hard work has paid off and the fans she has picked up, along the way, Jasmine says have really come through for her. “It’s an amazing feeling to know your work has the support of your friends and fans, from across the country”.

Jasmine has shared the stage with many acts including Emerson Drive, Crystal Shawanda and will be part of the Bluefeather Music Festival, taking stage the same night as Buffy Saint Marie, in Whitehorse, on November 7^th. This Northern based artist, Fort Nelson, BC, is very thankful to everyone for their support and votes “Thanks to all my friends and fans for giving me the honour of this award”.

The Aboriginal Peoples’ Choice Music Awards (APCMAs) were handed out in Winnipeg over 2 nights September 11 and 12 in Winnipeg, with full broadcast on the Aboriginal Peoples’ Television Network.

2014 is shaping up as a banner year for Jasmine Netsena, thanks to this vibrant and richly rewarding album. It is indeed one you will want to take with you.

We are all very proud for her.
