You are visitor number:
since December 1999.
Jazz is not about flat fives or sharp nines, or metric subdivisions,
or substitute chord changes. Jazz is about feeling, communication, honesty,
and soul. Jazz is not supposed to boggle the mind. Jazz is meant to enrich
the spirit. Jazz can create jubilance. Jazz can induce melancholy. Jazz can
energize. Jazz can soothe. Jazz can make you shake your head, clap your
hands, and stomp your feet. Jazz can render you spellbound and hypnotized.
Jazz can be soft or hard, heavy or light, cool or hot, bright or dark. Jazz
is for your heart. Jazz moves you. -Joshua Redman [April,1994 MOODSWING]

Bonnie Brett with the Mark Eisenman Trio
Bonnie Brett, one of Toronto's most beloved practitioners of vocal jazz,
returns to the Bistro for a reunion with the Mark Eisenman Trio, a group
that continues to bring meaning to the words, "Swing or Die!"
Presenting an all new repertoire of songs, culled from the Great American
Song Book, these musicians bring to the reunion party a new energy, insight
and humor gained from time spent exploring different musical directions and
leading their own ensembles since their last appearance together.
The very groovy Richard Whiteman makes a special guest appearance on
