(2) - CANADIAN MUSICIAN MAGAZINE ARTICLE - "EVERY IDIOM HAS A CLAVE"

(1)  BILL BEARD - "HANDS"

I tend to like "portraits" that are a little off-beat (…and for that reason, I tend to really like this one!…  :-)

This pic was taken by Bill Beard at the last "Jazz Lives" concert (Jazz.FM91) which took place at Koerner Hall in  April, 2017.


(2) CANADIAN MUSICIAN MAGAZINE ARTICLE - "EVERY IDIOM HAS A CLAVE"

An article of mine is appearing in the September/October issue of Canadian Musician Magazine and it is about rhythm (entitled "Every Idiom Has A Clave").

Of course, you can track the article down in the Woodwinds Column of the current issue of CM or, if you are not a subscriber but you are really interested, then you can simply drop me a line and I will send you a copy in a Word file.  (extremeflute@look.ca)

(3) PATSY CLINE LIVE - "CRAZY"

Watch Patsy as she takes merely two minutes…to slay this tune! :-)


(4)  SOME FORTHCOMING GIGS

The following gig listing is in DESCENDING order.  And you can always find a current/updated listing at the following link:


Also, if you need - or want - any flute, alto flute or piccolo work (…or perhaps some flute/improvisation coaching…), then simply drop me a line at extremeflute@look.ca.
