Orbit On Repeat - Last Week's Classic Show Up For Another Listen

 

Jon Brooks Hosts Sad Mondays At The Cameron

 

Listen, listen, listen well. Toronto songwriter Jon Brooks is back onstage.

He is at the Cameron House on Monday evenings all summer at 6:00 for weekly illustrious and heroic song sessions he refers to as Sad Mondays.

The second edition, of eight, was performed this past week for a few dozen adherents and drop-ins, some of whom had driven eight hours to get there, including musical partisans Alec Fraser. with his partner Maggie Fraser, Roger Zuraw and Sean Gorman.

Formatted to feature new work in the first hour and becoming gradually open to suggestions in the second half, Jon maintains a steady repartee and an intimate rapport with his audience, creating a positive trance state with the help of guitar sorcerer Neil Whitford, (right) and, more often than not, Vivienne Wilder, along with some pre-recorded tabla.

His issues include helping the animals, saving the world, and the progression of empathy, with an eye to digital technology, the plight of the refugees and the ongoing attempts to abduct our collective intelligence by the forces that be.

He perseveres.

All summer.

Remember, remember, remember what I tell.

Photos From June Tunes And Shows 2023

At the end of May, at Exco Levi's tribute to Denise Jones, my band The Memberz brought decisive reggae inspiration to The Garrison's dance floor. We connected deeply with the audience while celebrating the release of the new African-made video for our single, What Ah Joy, backed up with promotional t-shirts, buttons and real talk.

Treson offered some original acoustic compositions before the 

reggae vibes took over.

June began with a two-day show of some of my more jazzical paintings at The Beach Guild of Fine Art's spring exhibition.

An evening with monster guitarist and songwriter Noah Zacharin was brief but intensely rewarding as he wove his fingertips together into musical points of light.

The Memberz closed Roots Music Canada's party celebrating five years of Canadian roots music coverage at The Tranzac with a short set of originals.

Denielle Bassels took some time for the Orbit with an interview at The Only Café to spotlight her latest collection of new tunes entitled Little Bit A Love.

Duncan Hopkins, foundation Canadian jazz bassist, hosted Ted Quinlan and Reg Schwager's elaborate string theories at Hirut on the Danforth along with melodic drummer Ted Warren as they explored the music of Kenny Wheeler.

A party of devoted Beatles singers harmonized through two sets of fab tunes with expert assistance from Fergus, Neil Chapman, Bob Cohen and Julie Long on Fathers Day.
 

Catchfiya brought beats and future tones to Al Qahwa's CD release for Weyn Allah.

Soul jazz from Boston saxman Braxton Cook brought a Sunday crowd into the middle of Avenue Road to rejoice on the first weekend of T.O. Jazz Fest.
