He was a founder member of L’Atelier de Musique Experimentale (1972), Jazz Ottawa (1976), and Music Now (1997). He has written for CODA magazine since 1970, and has been a member of the Down Beat International Critics Poll since 1982.
IN A MELLOW TONE is now hosted by a rotating collective of jazz zealots including Natalie McGrath, Heavy Ben and Ian M. They intend on taking IAMT forward with the high standards of broadcasting that Ron Sweetman established for decades.
