Ottawa Blues This Week - 7 July 2014

************************************
SPECIAL EVENTS THIS WEEK
************************************
RBC Royal Bank Bank Bluesfest
Lebreton Flats, Ottawa ON
Continuing July 8-13
With Selwyn Birchwood, David Maxwell & friends, John Mayall, Firebelly, Long Tall Deb, Thornetta Davis, John Németh & the Bo-Keys, the Texas Horns, Wicked Grin, Sugar Ray & the Bluetones, Darrell Nulisch, Paul Oscher, Little Fredie King, Elvin Bishop & more.

Some suggestions – July 9-13 (Ottawa locals in italics)
Wednesday, July 9
David Maxwell & friends – “David Maxwell has amassed an enormous resume throughout the years playing piano with some of the greatest and well-known musicians in the blues. David plays many styles of blues, jazz and improvised music, but he is best known for his soulful virtuosity and unmatched ability to reach the heart of post-war Chicago Blues. Through his work, he has gained the respect of artists, critics and fans and has established a reputation as one of the finest blues pianists alive.” http://www.davidmaxwell.com/
Selwyn Birchwood – “Selwyn Birchwood, Florida’s rising young blues fireball, is a guitar and lap-steel-playing bundle of pure energy. He delivers his original songs with a revival tent preacher’s fervour and a natural storyteller’s charisma made all the more impactful by his raw, unvarnished vocals. Birchwood plays high-octane blues – at once deeply rooted, funky and up-to-the-minute – with true passion and honest emotion.” http://www.selwynbirchwood.com/
Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue – New Orleans native Trombone Shorty is the bandleader and frontman of Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, a hard-edged funk band that employs hip-hop beats, rock dynamics and improvisation in a jazz tradition. Good things continue to happen for Trombone Shorty, thanks to his virtuosity, his dedication, and his ability to move people. That he pursues his passion with such humility and unpretentiousness makes his still-unfolding story as compelling as the music he's making along the way.” http://www.tromboneshorty.com/

Thursday, July 10
Firebelly – Firebelly is a Modern Soul ensemble outfit dedicated to fostering Blues & Roots music into the future, while respecting its rich & timeless traditions. Its members are fueled by a collective passion to make great music.
Long Tall Deb – “It’s not just her honey and molasses-soaked voice … or her keen, nuanced songwriting that blend experience with a hint of mysticism (Long Tall Deb’s Texas/Mexico border roots are never far away from her songs). What Long Tall Deb brings to the studio and the stage is nothing short of one-of-a-kind. She goes beyond the “my-man-done-me-wrong” songs to tell stories that are deep, full-bodied and a reflection of who she is.” http://longtalldeb.com/
John Mayall – ‘The Godfather of British Blues’, John Mayall is a singer, guitarist, harmonica player, organist and songwriter, whose musical career spans over fifty years. His band, the Bluesbreakers, founded in the 1960s, has included some of the most famous blues and blues rock musicians. To quote Eric Clapton, “John Mayall has actually run an incredibly great school for musicians." 

Friday, July 11
Canadian Women’s Songwriter Showcase with Kelly Sloan, Kelly Prescott and Shannon Rose – “… three of Ottawa’s finest singer-songwriters. Kelly Sloan’s music is undoubtedly hard to label. Her music has been described as “soul-infused folk”, “Canadiana flare” and “country-roots rock”. Kelly Prescott is one of the lead singers of the alt-country band, The Claytones. They have a musical chemistry few groups can match with tight, three-part harmonies, beautiful arrangements and a warm stage presence. Drawing on influences of classic pop, soul, country, punk and rock music, Shannon Rose & the Thorns focus on melody and songcraft. Her voice is rich and captivating and she and her band perform with soulful conviction.”
Thornetta Davis – “Singer, songwriter, recording artist and actress – for over 15 years, this multi-talented Detroiter has … performed over two hundred shows a year with grace and stamina. Her voice is strong, commanding, melodic and smooth. She tells her stories with incredible delivery and leaves her audiences wanting more.” http://www.thornettadavis.com/
John Németh & the Bo-Keys – “Drawing on the classic soul, blues, and R&B influences that inform his stunning vocal style, John has crafted a timeless slice of American music. He re-visits the inspired sounds of the ‘50s and ‘60s, when Chicago blues were adding funk and rock to the mix, that got him hooked on music in the first place.”
The Texas Horns – It's always a pleasure to have The Texas Horns performing at the RBC Bluesfest. For most music lovers there’s nothing like the full sound of a great blues band with horns. But, for many touring acts it’s not always feasible to bring in a horn section. With the Texas Horns as perennial guest stars at the festival, many of the performers have the luxury of a set with the 'House Horns'. This unit has the ability to adapt on the fly, often minutes before the performance. This is what leads us to offer Kaz and The Texas Horns a permanent 'residency' at the RBC Bluesfest. Aside from stage-hopping and sitting in for impromptu performances with a wide variety of bands throughout the festival, the Texas Horns—featuring Kaz Kazanoff on tenor sax, Al Gomez on trumpet, and John Mills on baritone sax—will also be fronting their very own set, while hosting a stellar cast of 'fest favourites on drums, bass, strings and keys.”

Saturday, July 12
Wicked Grin – “Combine a lead singer/songwriter's fresh take on gritty blues and killer guitar, a veteran harp player, raucous and wailing in all the right places, a super tight bassist, and a hot young drummer and you get full-tilt blues with a groove that just won't quit: Blues With Bite!” Ottawa Blues Society’s entry in last year’s International Blues Challenge. http://www.wickedgrin.ca/
Sugar Ray & the Bluetones – Soulful vocalist and talented harmonica player, Sugar Ray Norcia has fronted the Bluetones since the mid-‘70s, as well as a stint with Roomful of Blues. This five piece Chicago style blues band lists as band interests - playing great Blues Music for people throughout the world. And they do! http://www.sugarrayandthebluetones.com/
Little Freddie King – A cousin of Lightnin’ Hopkins, his style was based on Freddie King, although his approach to country blues is original. He has played the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival for 42 years, is a member of the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame and was three times selected Blues Performer of the Year in New Orleans. http://www.littlefreddieking.com/
Paul Oscher – Award-winning blues singer, songwriter, recording artist and multi-instrumentalist (harmonica, guitar, piano, melodia and bass harp), he first came to national attention as Muddy Waters’ harmonica player, 1967-72, the first white musician in the world to become a full-time member of a black blues band of this stature.” http://www.pauloscher.com/
Thornetta Davis – see Friday, July 11
Darrell Nulisch – “Blues and soul man Darrell Nulisch’s music showcases his incredible blues harmonica skills and his passionate voice. He has the kind of voice legends are made of – big, strong and supple, rippling with élan and coloured by the dust of his native Texas. It’s a timeless instrument, yet Nulisch keeps it firmly in the present ….” 

Sunday, July 13
Darrell Nulisch – see Saturday, July 12
Paul Oscher – see Saturday, July 12
Elvin Bishop – Elvin Bishop has been travelling the Blues road longer than most, and he’s got the stories to prove it …. Stops along the way include his work as a founding member of the groundbreaking Paul Butterfield Blues Band in the early ‘60s, recordings with legends such as Clifton Chenier, John Lee Hooker, and The Allman Brothers, and Pop success with his own 1976 smash hit “Fooled Around and Fell In Love”. Bishop’s long and varied career has included plenty of side trips along the way as well, from deep down gutbucket Blues played in smoky South Side Chicago taverns, to raucous roadhouse R&B, to good time Rock & Roll on concert stages and festivals around the world. And at every stage along the way, he’s instilled all of his music with passion, creativity, and a healthy helping of wisdom, wit, and good humor.” http://elvinbishopmusic.com/

J.P. Soars & the Red Hots
Rainbow Bistro, 76 Murray Street
Thursday, July 10, 8 pm -10:30 pm

JP Soars is not a typical blues guitarist. He has a diverse musical background that encompasses a multitude of influences. "I love T-bone Walker, Jesse May Hemphill, Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt, Muddy Waters, Johnny Guitar Watson, Guitar Slim and Louis Jordan. But I also love Tito Puente, Miles Davis, Hank Williams, Black Sabbath and Slayer." Soars toured the globe and recorded several records with some of the most extreme metal bands in the world before finding his home in the blues! It is these attributes that are giving Soars an instantaneously recognizable style.

JazzWorks Sunday Jam
Carleton Tavern, 223 Armstrong Street
First Sunday of the month, 2-5 pm; cover $5; free admission for students

JazzWorks has started a second monthly jam series. Besides the current evening jam on the third Thursday of each month, it also runs an afternoon jam on the first Sunday of the month. Charley Gordon writes: "One of the hopes is that this afternoon jam session will be attractive to students who, for some reason, generally avoid taverns on weekday nights. Depending on attendance and other factors, we might do some experimenting with format in this new jam."

Host Band: The Kavchak/Kubelka/Menard Trio
     Michael Kavchak - bass
     Anthony Kubelka - piano
     Daniel Menard - drums
These students all are members of the Ottawa Junior Jazz Band, and of the Bells Corners Academy Jazz Camp Band where they work with Yves Laroche.

Whether you're a jazz lover, or jazz instrumentalist or vocalist at any level, you are most welcome to join the fun with the improvised blend of the familiar and unexpected.  Musicians of intermediate level and up are encouraged to participate in the jam.  If you will be calling a tune, you must bring at least three copies of lead sheets in your concert C key for other musicians, and charts for Bb and Eb instruments would be appreciated by horn players.

The jam sessions are coordinated by Alf Warnock at: alf.warnock@gmail.com . Please contact Alf if you would like to volunteer as MC or assist with breakdown/setup for specific upcoming jam sessions in the 2013-2014 season, or if you would like more information about the jam.
