I’m heading out to some local New Years festivities and I just wanted to mention…
For the jazz lovers out there (yes Ken, you can block out the rest of this entry) I just discovered the most amazing English sax player who goes by the name of Shilts. I heard a cover of Tuesday Heartbreak on sky.fm earlier tonight and sought out the album and found I not only liked the Tuesday Heartbreak cover but really loved the previews of the entire CD (which is rare) so I bought it. I hope Kim Mitchell isn’t too offended when he looks out into the crowd and sees the old guy in the stands with his Shure in-ears listening to jazz while he’s playing his heart out. I just don’t particularly feel like spending New Years alone, and I haven’t seen the new General Motors Center yet.
If you like groovin’ uptempo jazz, I really heartily recommend this guy’s music. The “HeadBoppin” album is available on the Canadian iTunes store, as well as other places I’m sure.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
