Ottawa Jazz composers are diverse, inventive and persistent. Tonight we will sample eight of their compositions and attempt to define their unique characteristics:
. Steve Boudreau’s Raymond Guy, catchy multi layered near pop
. Johannes Welschs Fire, sheets of sounds from a single piece of metal
. Tim Bedner’s Umbra, an angular lyricism
. Linsey Wellman’s Ephemera Track 4, a self-developmental composition
. John Geggie’s Son of a Shoe, asymmetric rhythmical lyricism
. Doug Martin’s Kafka was Here, deeply unresolved like a Kafka novel
. Richard Page’s, Irke, Hard Bop on the move
. Roddy Ellias’ Calm, the acoustic textured improvisations
. Peter Hum Midway, writing elaborate harmonics
