Rating: NNNNN


Jazz tuba innovator and John Lennon’s “horn-spiration,”multiinstrumentalist Howard Johnson joins the Tim Posgate Hornband to present the engaging songs from their new self-titled disc at Nathan Phillips Square today (Thursday,June 30) at noon.

Roy Haynes | Fountain Of Youth

“With so many saxophonists playing like each other, the drummers are pushing jazz forward, and not just the young ones – Roy’s leading the pack!”

NEDRA Johnson | Nedra

“Although there’s no profanity, the warning label on my daughter’s second CD reads, “Some lyrics very sexual.”Her lesbian-specific songs have the power to move anyone who loves music.”

Hank Jones | For My Father

“Here’s another over-80-year-old guy who’s providing me with deep inspiration, and he’s playing in honour of his dad. The father of Hank, Elvin and Thad must truly have been a great man.”
