Thanks for entering this ‘room to move’ and like the title implies, the tracks are all about stretching musical muscles. The songs and instrumentals encompass various genres and styles that have been dear to me for more than a couple of decades. The music goes where it wants to go and I hope it will make a connection with you, the listener. Most of the pieces have been written recently, while a few are older songs that I’ve edited and revived, finally releasing them to the universe. All have been recorded within the last year with the help of some ‘way cool and happening’ musicians in the Toronto music scene. Mark Kelso - drums, Matt Horner - piano, Rhodes & synth, Henry Heillig - bass, John Johnson - alto flute & tenor sax, Perry White - bass clarinet & tenor sax, William Carn - trombone, Colleen Allen - soprano, tenor & baritone sax, Lennie Graf - flute, oboe, clarinet & English horn, Ravi Naimpally - tablas, Oliver Schroer - bass vocal, Darren Wall - bass on tk 2, Lorne Nehring - drums on tk 10; I’m grateful to you all! A big thanks also to my singing family members; daughter Cosima and her loving mom, Hertha. Thanks to Louis Vautour for the ebo part and Maru Rodriguez, muchas gracias to you too. Additional thanks to all the friends who have encouraged me with your empowering comments along the way.

 

So welcome to my room, my eclectic head space. I hope you feel at home.                                                                                  – Jack
