Chet Doxas Jazz Band at the Cove

Chet DoxasOn Friday,  October 4, 2013, the Chet Doxas Jazz Band is starting their “Dive” album release tour at the Cove. Doors open 8-11pm, and tickets are $20.

 

The widely accomplished and Juno nominated Montreal-based saxophonist Chet
Doxas is announcing a cross-Canadian solo tour following the release of
his latest album “Dive”.

Chet also continues his long time collaboration with the
multi-award-winning Sam Roberts Bandand will be featured on their upcoming
release. Chet will also release a co-led cd entitled “Riverside” along
with the trumpeter Dave Douglas in April 2014 on Greenleaf Records. Also
expect to see them touring across Canada and Europe during the summer of
2014 along with Steve Swallow on bass and Jim Doxas on the drums.

His Fall touring quartet will feature Matthew Stevens on guitar, Zack
Lober on bass and Eric Doob on drums (with Tilden Webb replacing Matthew
Stevens October 16th).

 

Interviews available upon request.

Chet Doxas – saxophone
Matthew Stevens – guitar
Eric Doob – drums
Zack Lober -bass
* Tilden Webb will be replacing Matthew Stevens in Vancouver on October 16th.

“… all the music on Dive is just as robust, creative and, indeed,
thrilling. So much so that, while there’s a lot of time left for 2014
contemporary jazz Juno rivals to emerge, I honestly won’t be surprised
if it’s Doxas giving the thank-you speech at next year’s awards gala
dinner.” – OTTAWA CITIZEN

“based on complex but hooky melodies” – VOIR

“…his saxophone shows glimmers of Jan Gabarek’s glistening,
full-toned throatiness, but often restrained where appropriate” –
EXCLAIM!

Blues on the Rideau

Blues on the Rideau

Now that the Acoustic Blue Monday are over it’s time for the return of the Blues On The Rideau full band Series. This will be the 9th year for what has become one of the most popular Blues Series in Canada.

Click Here for Blues On the Rideau Page

All the acts are Maple Blues and/or Juno Award winners/nominees. There’s young talent along with seasoned veterans, popular returnees and new bands who’ve never played BOTR before. And this year two acts from western Canada are coming  – piano man David Vest from Victoria in October and a hot young soul/funk/R&B band from Edmonton called Boogie Patrol – in February.    As in the past all BOTR Shows are fundraisers for different Westport charities. To date over $45,000 has been raised and the goal this year is to hit another $5,000.

All BOTR Shows will be singles this year – all on Friday nights – except February 15th (a Saturday) when Boogie Patrol is here and May 9 & 10 (Friday & Saturday) when the David Rotundo Band is back for a 2 night stand. There is a chance that some Saturday dates may be added for some of the other bands as well but that will depend totally on the number of early advance reservations.
