2010 Gig Photos
On December 16th Oddity made a rare public appearance at El Barrio Restaurante Latino. We've been playing weekly sessions for years and it was time to take these very hard tunes public! With Andre Lachance (guitar), Bernie Arai (drums) and Tommy Babin (bass).

These were really fun gigs in mid-September at the Jazz Cellar. It was a quartet playing the music of Larry Young, including all of the landmark album "Unity". Other musicians on the gig were Brad Turner, trumpet; Chris Gestrin, B3 organ; and Julian MacDonough, drums. Thanks to Doug Anderson for the use of the great photos.

On Apr 15, CBC will broadcast a recent gig I played on with the Peggy Lee Band. It was at UBC as a part of their Noon Hour concert series and will be aired on CBC's program “The Signal.” The music and pics are also available on “Concerts on Demand” by clicking here.
As someone who grew up riding the ferries of coastal British Columbia, this is a project that has special meaning to me to be part of. Chris Gestrin has composed some stunningly beautiful music as the soundtrack to this film. Chris rode the ferries and recorded the sounds that they made to incorporate into the music soundtrack. “Inside Passage” debuted at the 2009 Vancouver International Film Festival. More information on “Inside Passage” can be seen here. |
