The MUN Jazz Orchestra is at the heart of my work at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. A wonderful, open ensemble with students and community members learning and playing together. We recorded a few videos earlier this year—the first one is out now. youtu.be/jyLovN0D28o?...

100 years ago today, Oscar Peterson was born in Montréal. His music inspired me from my very first jazz solo transcription to hearing him live in Erlangen — moments that set me on my path as a musician. Happy Centennial, Oscar!
