Eighteen of these recordings have garnered Juno Nominations while four were Juno Winners. Whether it is recent outings by the Barenaked Ladies and Bruce Cockburn, the funky sounds of Mr. Something Something and Planet Earth, the eclectic nature of the Great Uncles of the Revolution and Jayme Stone or modern collaborations like the Sicilian Jazz Project and Ricochet, Kevin always brings a passion and creativity to each session.

Perry White ( tenor, baritone, alto, and soprano saxophones, flute, clarinet, bass clarinet) was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. His expressive tone and lyrical approach to playing the entire family of saxophone have kept him busy performing in Canada and around the world for over two decades. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, he starting playing in local coffee houses and bars at the age of 15, soon hooking up with Canadian jazz greats-to-be including Hugh Fraser, Campbell Ryga and Renee Rosnes.
He developed his own sound which he describes as being “steeped in the tradition of jazz and charged with the energy and experimentation of modern music”. Relocating to Toronto in the ‘80s, he has since performed and recorded with a who’s who of the Canadian jazz and modern music scene as well as a diverse cross-section of international artists including Hilario Duran. Dave Young, Kevin Briet, The Shuffle Demons, Bill Mays, Mouse on Mars (Germany), Hugh Fraser, Phil Dwyer, Holy Cole, Michael White, John Alcorn, John MacLeod, Dave Mcmurdo, Mr. Something Something, Aretha Franklin, Michael Buble, Raise the Roof (Holland), The Boss Brass, Reg Schwager, Planet Earth, Steve Wallace, Rob Armus (France), Hugh Marsh, Ted Quinlan, Richard Whiteman, Roberto Occhipinti, David Foster, Michael Occhipinti, NOJO, Claude Ranger, Freddie Stone, Esprit Orchestra, Dione Taylor, Don Thompson, and Milton Berle.

He performed frequently at Bourbon Street in its heyday, working with legendary jazz figures including Junior Cook, Thad Jones, and Dexter Gordon. He played and toured extensively with ‘Nimmons ‘N Nine Plus Six’, and has recorded with everyone from Phil Nimmons and Ed Bickert to Kathryn Moses, Sam Noto, and Hagood Hardy.

Toronto-based and Winnipeg-born multiple award-winning bassist and composer Dave Young, is, without a doubt, one of Canada’s most valuable and beloved musical exports. Whether he’s performing as part of a classical symphony, or as an integral member of an iconic jazz trio (with the likes of the late Oscar Peterson), or leading any of his dynamic ensembles, Dave remains a total musician, with artistic soul in abundance. He first began studying the guitar and violin at age ten, but a turn of events at his first gig (a University dance band) compelled him to pick up the bass. Equally comfortable in the worlds of orchestral classical music and jazz, Dave is a multiple threat. As a classical musician, he has been a member of The Edmonton Symphony, The Winnipeg Symphony and The Hamilton Philharmonic. As a jazz artist, he is a chameleon-like bassist, who often shines brightest in collaborative efforts with other musicians. Because of his technical skill, few bassists (jazz or otherwise) are able to dig in, swing hard and still render a lyrical arco solo as Dave can.
One of Dave Young’s most beloved gigs was a five year stint (1961-66) as a member of iconic jazz guitarist Lenny Breau’s quartet. Recently, Randy Bachman’s “Guitar Archives” label has released Bourbon Street – a LIVE recording of Dave and Lenny in duo format, digitally restored and originally recorded on a primitive reel to reel at Toronto’s late, lamented jazz venue. The list of musicians with whom Dave has shared the stage is a virtual “Who’s Who” of international jazz…including the late Oscar Peterson (with whom Dave had a thirty-five year musical relationship), Clark Terry, Harry “Sweets” Edison, Zoot Simms, Joe Williams, Oliver Jones, Kenny Burrell, Cedar Walton, Hank Jones, Nat Adderly, Peter Appleyard, Gary Burton, Barney Kessell, Ed Bickert, Ranee Lee, Marcus Belgrave, Don Thompson, Kenny Burrell and James Moody.
In recent years, Dave Young has released a number of excellent CDs as leader. The most recent CD, Mean What You Say was released in November 2009. The JUNO winning Fables and Dreams with co-leader Phil Dwyer (Justin Time Records); We Three with Phil Dwyer and Michele Lambert (torontosound.com) and Two by Two – Volumes 1 & 2 (1995 & 96) which featured Dave in duet performances with jazz legends Oscar Peterson, Cedar Walton, John Hicks, Mulgrew Miller, Tommy Flanagan, Ellis Marsalis, Barry Harris, Kenny Barron, Renee Rosnes, Cyrus Chestnut and Oliver Jones and the hit recordings Tale of the Fingers with Special Guest Cedar Walton (Justin Time), and the excellent quintet album, Mainly Mingus (Justin Time), which features Dave’s re-imaginings of the music of Charles Mingus and Horace Silver.
In addition to club appearances, touring, recording and concert/festival performance work, Dave is also a dedicated jazz educator, having taught at numerous music seminars and jazz clinics, as well as being an ongoing member of the Faculty of Music at The University of Toronto. In the classical milieu, Dave regularly tours with clarinettist James Campbell and pianist Gene Di Novi in a successful programme of “Classical Fusion”. He also stretches both his classical and jazz chops at the annual “Festival of the Sound” in Perry Sound, Ontario, where he has been an integral part of this two-week eclectic musical event for some years.
Dave Young was recently named as a member to The Order of Canada – our country’s highest and most prestigious civilian honour. He was installed for his huge international contribution to the music world and to Canada. Dave Young is also the winner (several times over) of the prestigious National Jazz Award “Bassist of the Year”. In 2009, in Atlanta Georgia, Dave performed as part of a 16-piece orchestra accompanying award-winning choreographer Twyla Tharp’s latest Broadway-bound dance work: “Come Fly With Me” – The Music of Frank Sinatra.
Terry Clarke (drummer) was born August 20, 1944 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He began displaying rhythmic aptitude at a very early age, and was just 12 twelve years old when he began studying formally with noted drum teacher and author, Jim Blackley, Blackley was, and remains, a primary figure in Clarke’s continuing development as a musician.
In 1965, Clarke moved to San Francisco to work with legendary saxophonist, John Handy III. He performed with Handy for the next two and a half years, during which time the GRAMMY nominated recording, Live at The Monterey Jazz Festival (Columbia – 1966) was made. Following the John Handy experience (which included Terry’s long-time musical collaborator and friend, Don Thompson), Clarke began building his reputation for versatility by joining the world-famous pop vocal group, “The Fifth Dimension” at the height of their popularity, travelling and performed extensively with them throughout the U.S.A., Canada and Europe.
Clarke left “The Fifth Dimension” in 1970, subsequently re-locating to Toronto where, for the next 15, he played an abundance of jazz in all styles, and established himself as a major figure in Toronto’s then-considerable studio scene. Countless television shows, jingles and recording dates were his mainstay, as well performances in legendary Toronto jazz clubs including “George’s Spaghetti House”, “Bourbon Steet”, and “Basin Street”, often working with international jazz figures including Frank Rossolino and Lenny Breau. During the same period, he also toured extensively in Japan and Europe with jazz guitar legend Jim Hall and piano great, Oscar Peterson.
Terry Clarke is an original member of the “Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass” jazz big band, recording and touring with the world-acclaimed ensemble for 25 years. In 1985, seeking greater musical challenges, Clarke moved to New York City to pursue an exclusively jazz-oriented career. During his tenure there, he worked and recorded with The Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra, Helen Merrill, Toots Theilemans, Ann Hampton Callaway, Red Mitchell, Marvin Stamm, Jim Hall, Bill Mays, Roger Kellaway, and Joe Roccisano, to list just a few.
Having recorded over 300 albums with various jazz artists, Terry Clarke is a familiar face at jazz festivals, concert halls, and venues throughout the world. In August of 1999, he returned to Toronto, reuniting with Rob to join his exciting new ensemble, “The Rob McConnell Tentet”, Terry Clarke’s most recent CD release is ‘Bick’s Bag’ (Triplet Records) featuring the trio of Bill Mays, Neil Swainson, and Terry Clarke, in tribute to Canadian jazz guitar legend, Ed Bickert.
Terry Clarke continues to perform and record with a number of international artists, including Nancy Wilson, Bill Mays, Renee Rosnes, Jim Hall, and Helen Merrill, as well as with an exciting line-up of Canadian musicians, among them David Braid, Jake Langley, Don Thompson, Nancy Walker, Neil Swainson, and David Occhipinti. Clarke is also an enthusiastic jazz educator, and for the past several years has been a member of the Faculty of Music at the University of Toronto.Request a reservation

New York Construction Accident Lawyer from The Perecman Firm Credits Adequate Safety Precautions for Saving the Life of a Construction Worker After a Scaffold Fall
New York, New York (PRWEB) December 21, 2011
A construction worker is alive following a scaffold accident in Kips Bay.
Thankfully, the worker used adequate safety precautions, said New York construction accident lawyer David Perecman, founder of The Perecman Firm, one of New York construction accident law firms. Something as simple as a safety harness and rope can make all the difference in the event of a scaffold accident in New York.
The construction worker dangled six stories above the sidewalk, held by only his safety harness and a rope. He had lost his balance and toppled over the edge of a suspended scaffold, reported the New York Post. (12/13/2011).
Construction site falls account for the greatest number of fatalities in the construction industry, according to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA).
In 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that 751 construction workers died on the job, with 35 percent of those fatalities resulting from falls.
Nearly 2.3 million construction workers often work on scaffolds, reported OSHA. Protecting these workers from scaffold-related construction accidents would prevent an estimated 4,500 injuries and 50 fatalities annually.
Fall arrest systems, safety nets, guardrails, covers and restraint systems can prevent many construction accident injuries and deaths from falls, said OSHA.
Training is one of the most important requirements to prevent falls from scaffolding in New York, construction accident lawyer Perecman, the former head New York construction accident lawyer for the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, and a lecturer on construction accident law, said.
If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a New York construction accident or scaffold fall on the job, please contact the New York construction accident lawyers atThe Perecman Firm at http://www.perecman.com.
