great to hear Christine Bougie's trio at the Red Guitar last night. She had a really nice selection of songs that were played well by her trio. It was great to hear a young guitarist playing modern songs, and treating them as vehicles for jazz improvisation. No big deal made of tribute to artists, new standards etc. Just playing songs; Herbie Hancock, Elvis, Burt Bacharach, originals of hers too.

looking forward to them coming back already.

I am also really excited about my Wednesday gig at the Red Guitar with Montreal pianist Marianne Trudel

We have never played together before but I got to hear her live in Montreal this summer and she sounds great.
