I have finally made the connection to "The Cellar" jazz scene in Vancouver by meeting founder Cory Weeds who was performing with his Quintet at the National Arts Centre on Oct 5, 2009. I had always wished I were in Vancouver listening to jazz at the club with my friends from the 2009 Cuba Jazz Festival tour group. So what a surprise it was when I found out Cory Weeds would be coming to Ottawa !!! Here was the line-up of the night's performance:
Cory Weeds – tenor saxophone
Ross Taggart – piano
Jim Rotondi – trumpet
Paul Rushka– bass
Jesse Cahill – drums
Well, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the two-hour show by the Quintet. I even had Cory's autograph on his 51st Cellar Live disc "Everything's Coming Up Weeds". They did some really exciting pieces, such as "I've Never Been In Love Before". I had to laugh when Cory talked abt the reality of fatherhood, in reference to the beautiful ballad "Little Unknown One" that he had written BC (before children). Yes, night after night of sleep-deprivation, that explains a lot abt parents' memory, or the lack thereof.
