The month of April,in spite of being rather broke has been a wonderful one as far as music goes. In spite of some resistance on my part,I got to see/hear Alan Gerber @ a Hidden Valley B&B/house concert,and it was a very fine show. Hopefully see him here again,maybe w/ a band ! Then two days later was Brandon Isaak releasing his new CD,Here On Earth,accompanied by Keith Picot,at The Old Fire Hall. A >FABULOUS< show,sold out,and including a couple of the silent film projects these two artists have been collaborating on. Wonderful. The following night,also at The Old Fire Hall,Sarah MacDougall opened for the >VERY FINE< Rachel Sermanni,performing solo [mostly] on a bit of a return visit to Yukon. Always nice to see Sarah,but Rachel ... shes got an >OH-SO-FINE< voice ,kinda angelic in its purity,though I bet she could tell a hair-raising ghost story ... And last night finished it off for me [sadly,no more dough ...] with another show at The Old Fire Hall ... THE JAZZ REUNION CONCERT w/ Daniel Janke,Ken Searcy and George Koller .... WOWZER - WHAT A SHOW !!! Daniel & George have played together in Toronto,Ken & George have played together in Calgary ... George has graced the Arts Centre stage a couple of times - the last time I saw him was with Cindy Church & Joe Sealy doing the Hoagy Carmichael song book,the show titled The Nearness Of You .... that was a trully GREAT show,too. But last night was very special ... they were in such fine form,and on this visit george got to do some work-shop sort of teaching things,too. George is an old pal,from wwwaaayyy back when he called Edmonton home,always nice to see him and hear him ... last night was >GREAT< !!!!!
