THE NEW WAVE – September 20, 2019 - saw CANADIAN JAZZ represented by two of the most prominent young jazz musicians in the country. WILLIAM SPERANDEI on trumpet and ALISON YOUNG on tenor sax. William studied at the University of New Orleans under Ellis Marsalis and Alison was chosen as one of the (Best 35 Canadian Jazz Artists under 35)by the CBC. Joining them will be Andy Harasymczuk on guitar, Jack McFadden on bass and Allan Halford on drums. This was an interesting Jazz evening. We had scheduled a quintet for the evening for a session titled (The New Wave in Canadian Jazz). By 7:00 pm we had the Trumpet with William Sperandei, the Bass with Jack Mcfadden, and the guitar with Andy Harasymczuk. The sax lady, and the drummer were tied up in traffic. So, the trio started off, and played some fantastic music. Then, a bit later, the other two arrived, and Alison Young, the sax player, joined the trio right away and more wonderful music was presented. We then decided to have the quartet carry on until the break and then at break time, the drummer, Allan Halford would have time to set up and join the other four. The second half provided more great music. You could never plan this sort of thing, but as it happened, it really worked well.
