Hello Canada!
Down-town Toronto in Queens St. W. is my new home.
Time to get used to the cooler weather, see the town, plan the next steps and of course hear some great music at the REX Jazz and Blues Bar.
Starting with the Ross Wooldridge Trio, then the Alex Goodman Quintet from New York.
Blues from Dr. Nick and the Rollercoaster and Brazilian feelings with the music of the Angela Turone Duo (Angela Turone (voc.); Chris Platt (guit.)) which was today supported with the great trumpet from Chase Sanborn.
I had to see how you fit the whole Brian Dickinson Jazz Orchestra on the small stage.
And of course had to hear the great voice of Melissa Lauren and the Melissa Lauren Quartet, today only as Trio but with support of another great Voice, the one of Steven Taetz. Escape Art: „A Tribute to Some of Music’s Influential Refugees“ with great interprtations of all so different songs up to Queen’s „Somebody to love„… Great!
1) Melissa Lauren Quartet at the REX 2) Brian Dickinson Jazz Orchestra
1) Melissa Lauren (voc.), Nathan Hiltz (guit.), Ross MacIntyre (bass)
2) How to fit a 22 Person Big Band on a Small stage……..
How to get around?
What’s best to get around in town?
Which one shall I buy ?
The one on the left? O.K. maybe not the best ride to get around in town..
I chose the TTC. Some people complain about TTC, but it served well for me.
Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt……
Of course I had to go up…. on a nice sunny day. Great!
As to be seen in the picture right there are some signs in case Alain Robert comes by (from the outside up) so he knows he’ll get a fine.
