Canadian Jazz Quartet • Just Friends

 

The Canadian Jazz Quartet plays mainstream jazz with a swinging and graceful treatment of standards and original material. Well known in the Toronto jazz scene, in the clubs, festivals and on the concert stage the CJQ has produced a high standard of excellence in jazz for more than a decade.

"If I'm lying on a beach, I'm reading, dozing, or pondering, and the laid-back Canadian Jazz Quartet: Just Friends – an album of recognizable jazz and show tunes such as "Embraceable You," "Time After Time" and "Joy Spring" – is good accompaniment for all. The combination of guest flautist (Bill McBirnie) and vibes (Frank Wright) gives buoyancy to the traditional small combo, rounded out by bassist Duncan Hopkins, guitarist Gary Benson and drummer Don Vickery. The band of vets ... ably cover swing, ballads, blues and bossa nova on this disc"

Muy conocido en la escena del jazz de Toronto, en los clubes, festivales y en el escenario de conciertos, el CJQ ha producido un alto nivel de excelencia en el jazz durante más de una década.

"Si estoy tumbado en una playa, estoy leyendo, dormitando o reflexionando, y el relajado Canadian Jazz Quartet: Just Friends -un álbum de reconocibles temas de jazz y espectáculo como "Embraceable You", "Time After Time" y "Joy Spring"- es un buen acompañamiento para todos. La combinación del flautista invitado (Bill McBirnie) y el vibráfono (Frank Wright) da dinamismo al pequeño combo tradicional, completado por el bajista Duncan Hopkins, el guitarrista Gary Benson y el batería Don Vickery. La banda de veteranos ... cubre hábilmente el swing, las baladas, el blues y la bossa nova en este disco".
