Time Travel, the new long-awaited album, takes us on a trip that delves into journeys of the heart, our time on the planet, place in the universe, ancient legends, road stories and an oddly confused ghost. The album covers a lot of ground and is an explorative and deeply evocative album that will be sure to move the listener on many levels. Gallant’s rich vocals are brought to the fore on this recording and the often full orchestral arrangements provide the ideal setting for them to shine.

Colin James Announces 24-Date Cross Canada Tour For 2019Miles To Go Out Now - Releases single “40 Light Years”

9/28/2018

0 Comments

With his 19th album, Miles to Go (out Sept. 21, on Stony Plain Records in the USA and True North Records ROW), Colin James is getting back to the blues. And he’s also getting back to the road, announcing a 24-date, 23-city Canadian tour. See below for the complete schedule.

Miles to Go, Colin James’ ambitious sequel to the critically acclaimed Blue Highways, continues James’ story with a collection of carefully curated songs handpicked from some of the greatest blues artists.

In the months leading up to the recording, as James was reflecting on songs for the album he decided to reacquaint himself with a beautiful red Gibson ES-335. It was just like the guitar he played as a teenager but regretfully had to sell for rent money.

While James reconnected with this guitar, Miles to Go seemed to just flow onto the studio floor.

This album blends songs old and new, some of them completely reimagined and some almost perfect homages. But all are unified by a theme of undying love for the blues and the highest respect for the creators that led the way.

Known as one of Canada’s best blues musicians, it wasn’t until 2016’s Blue Highways that James found himself on a blues chart: the album spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Roots Music Report’s Blues Chart. It also landed him one of his biggest hits: “Riding in the Moonlight”. A Willie Dixon song that James once covered when busking in the streets and subways of Toronto and Montreal that landed on a Spotify playlist garnering millions of streams.

When James set out to make Blue Highways, an album of blues covers recorded with his touring band, he always intended it to be the first of two installments. Now we have Miles to Go, in which James records nine new covers of his favourite artists (Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Little Willie John, Robert Johnson, etc.) and adds two originals, “I Will Remain” and “40 Light Years.” “Blues has always been a pass-it-forward kind of thing,” says James. “It’s also surprisingly hard to write. You have to be careful how modern you get in your phrasing. Certain writers can write a song that sounds like it was done 40 years ago, but it’s deceptively hard.”

To be a blues musician is to always have a dialogue with the past. As with much blues music, it’s the performances on the original versions rather than the actual song that drew James to them. That said, what could he possibly bring to them in 2018? “You bring what you can,” he says. “If I feel like I’ve brought enough, then I put it out. I knocked a bunch of songs off this record when I realized that I can’t bring anything to them that isn’t there already. All my life I’ve tried to bring vitality to older songs. Hopefully my dedication to it is what floats it over the mark. That’s a subjective thing; some people will always prefer the original. However, there’s always a group of people coming up to see me after a show who might say, “Oh, I never would have heard ‘One More Mile’ by James Cotton—nothing in my life would have pointed me there.”

So much of Colin James’s career has pointed him to this moment: joyfully tangled up in the blues, which, as he notes, “is the only genre where you can maintain a young profile at the age of 53.”

Halifax Jazz Festival Announces This Year’s Holiday Shows: “Tales of a Charlie Brown Christmas,” featuring Jerry Granelli, and the Jazz Spectacular, “Swing Into The Holidays”

9/28/2018

0 Comments

December 9, 2018 at the Spatz Theatre, Halifax

HJF Annual Fundraiser for Music Education!

(Sept 28, 2018 - Halifax, NS) Halifax Jazz Festival is offering more music and fun this year as it kicks off its annual holiday fundraiser this season with “Swing Into The Holidays” for the evening entertainment, along with perennial family favourite, “Tales of a Charlie Brown Christmas,” featuring Jerry Granelli, for the matinee show. Both shows are all ages and part of Halifax Jazz Festival’s 16th annual fundraiser for music education and will be presented December 9, 2018 at the Spatz Theatre, Citadel High School, Halifax. Tickets are on sale now, and are available online through the festival’s official provider, etixnow or at halifaxjazzfestival.ca.

“Tales of a Charlie Brown Christmas” matinee show:
Halifax Jazz Festival presents “Tales of a Charlie Brown Christmas,” featuring jazz legend Jerry Granelli, and the Jerry Granelli Trio, matinee performance at 2 pm Sunday, December 9. Experience this beloved music with the musician who was a part of its inception! Esteemed jazz percussionist Jerry Granelli was a member of the Vince Guaraldi Trio when the band scored and performed the original recording of A Charlie Brown Christmas more than a half century ago. The soundtrack featured the Guaraldi Trio's cutting edge contemporary jazz, which was unusual at the time for children's programming. Since the television special's debut in 1965, the music has gone on to become an iconic soundtrack for the holiday season.

Granelli is no stranger to the Halifax Jazz Festival audiences, and is one of three parts of the Jerry Granelli Trio, which also includes Calgary's Simon Fisk on bass, and Vancouver's Chris Gestrin on piano. For this special performance, the Jerry Granelli Trio is joined by Sacred Heart Children’s Choir.

As in years past, Halifax Jazz Festival welcomes families with pre-show complimentary milk and cookies, and holiday themed children's activities, generously sponsored by Insight Optometry & Spot Eyewear. Tickets for the show are $45 for adults, $10 for children 12 and under.

Tickets for “Tales of a Charlie Brown Christmas” are available online through the festival’s official provider, etixnow HERE or at halifaxjazzfestival.ca

“Swing Into The Holidays” evening show:
Halifax Jazz Festival is proud to present “Swing Into The Holidays” again this year after a wildly popular debut last year. Halifax Jazz Festival is pleased to acknowledge the generous donation of John Riley to support jazz music in Halifax and “Swing Into The Holidays.”

Produced by acclaimed jazz percussionist, Artie Irwin, “Swing Into The Holidays” is an exciting lineup of seasonal music from an eclectic array of bands including, NEW this year, Halifax Klezmer sensation, Der Heisser. along with area favorites, The Tuesday Night Band, Kitty & the Katz, George Hebert & Standard Time, and The Back Alley Big Band, ft. Doris Mason. Irwin brings decades of experience as a jazz drummer as well as many years producing shows for television and radio, dance bands, and a wide variety of musical productions to the Spatz Theatre stage.

Der Heisser, Yiddish for “the Hot One,” makes an awesome addition to this year’s show performing Jewish klezmer music with that unmistakable Eastern European sound of Romania, Hungary, Russia, and traveling Gypsies. Klezmer is instantly likeable music, hauntingly familiar even as as it takes the listener on a journey into unknown places.

For a quarter of a century, The Tuesday Night Band has been a mainstay of the Halifax Jazz scene, proving over and over again that big band music is alive and thriving. A mix of professionals and talented amateurs who rehearse every Tuesday night, year round, Bob Bauer will conduct the band in a set of music sure to put everyone in a holiday spirit.

Kitty and the Katz were nominated for a Music Nova Scotia Award for their signature brand of swingy, bluesy jazz. They are well-known to Halifax audiences, having performed at Halifax Jazz Festival, recorded a live album at the Music Room, and won Bronze in The Coast's Jazz Group category. If you’ve seen their show, you love them, if not, get ready to be enchanted by Kitty and the Katz.

Georges Hebert has been entertaining audiences since the 1960s. He toured with Anne Murray for more than 30 years, playing legendary music halls throughout the world including Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall in New York, The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Royal Albert Hall, The London Palladium, and Victoria Palace in London, as well as Centennial Hall in Monte Carlo. Georges will be leading the Standard Time trio.
For swing music that gets the audience on its feet, no one beats Halifax’s own Back Alley Big Band. The 19-piece Back Alley Big Band will be joined by Doris Mason. Doris is a well-known performer on the East Coast music scene, and has successfully juggled a busy solo career, work as Musical Director for the hit touring show “DRUM!,” and has starred in Denny Doherty’s “Dream a Little Dream”- the nearly true story of the Mamas and Papas.

Tickets for "Swing Into The Holidays" are available online through the festival’s official provider etixnow HERE or via halifaxjazzfestival.ca

JIMMY RANKIN CELEBRATES NEW ALBUM, MOVING EAST, WITH RELEASE OF FIRST SINGLE, “BEEN AWAY”

9/24/2018

0 Comments

ANNOUNCES MORE DATES ADDED TO CANADIAN TOUR

MOVING EAST BRINGS THE PARTY FROM NASHVILLE BACK TO THE KITCHEN

True North Records debut album produced by Joel Plaskett

Now this is big news. One of the true originals in Canadian music has moved from Nashville to Nova Scotia, and is celebrating with music only he could make. Jimmy Rankin's new Moving East (out September 28, True North Records) is pure East Coast, a homecoming album featuring true stories, tall tales and bittersweet ballads, and the classic folk-rock sound that Rankin helped pioneer.

Just at a time when people are searching out authentic cultural voices, strong stories and well-crafted songs, Rankin has made an unapologetically East Coast folk-rock record, with a raw, unsentimental and current edge. “I’m putting the party back in the kitchen” quips Rankin.

It's called Moving East because that's exactly what Jimmy's done. He's moved back to Nova Scotia after seven years living and working in Nashville. Hooking up with fellow Nova Scotian Joel Plaskett as producer, he's made an album appealing to young and old alike, with songs running the gamut from gritty pub tunes to soulful ballads all featuring great storytelling, and fine songwriting.

One of the most famed Canadian songwriters, Jimmy Rankin wrote such classic Rankin hits as “North Country,” “You Feel The Same Way Too,” and the Juno winning single “Fare The Well Love,” voted the #1 East Coast song of all time by CBC listeners across Canada. His own hits include “Followed Her Around,” “Morning Bound Train,” and “Cool Car.” Jimmy’s the guy who wrote “Mull River Shuffle” a Cape Breton anthem with an all-ages cult following, jamming dance floors and mosh pits at parties, weddings and raves as the last big song of the night.

Says Rankin “With Moving East, I was trying to distil the fabric of Maritime culture into a musical collection replete with life’s highs and lows, and breathe life into stories that capture a feeling, a moment in time, live off the floor and organic.” It’s an album full of classic Cape Breton storytelling, unashamedly celebrating his moving back, and making the music he loves. Now that’s a homecoming.
