100 years ago today, Oscar Peterson was born in Montréal. His music inspired me from my very first jazz solo transcription to hearing him live in Erlangen — moments that set me on my path as a musician. Happy Centennial, Oscar!

Wildfires and an airline strike nearly stopped us — but thanks to our amazing firefighters, the fire near St. John’s has been held back, and Heather is on her way.

Join us Sunday night at Slainte — spots are filling fast, so call ahead!
