In the absence of concert listings, my regular Monday dispatches have fallen off. After bringing some life to the blog with the "bumping into" series, I figure I should get back in the groove. I'm guessing that this will be a bit like what used to get shoved into the end of the post when I was doing listings — some bandcamp suggestions, nods to a few livestreams, and sundry community notes (email me if you have anything that needs broadcast in the latter category!). Plus maybe a look back through the MFS archives.
Livestream nation:
- Audiopollination returns on Friday (October 8th) with a pre-recorded duo set featuring Yvonne Ng (movement) and Diane Roblin (piano). It'll be streaming over on Array's channel.
Discover Women in Jazz:
- What a delight to hear thoughts and sounds from some familiar faces in this continuing series of videos — a very welcome grassroots initiative from JAZZFM91. I recommend digging through the whole playlist, which at this moment also includes Mingjia Chen, Yunjin Claire Lee and Erez Zobary.
Bandcamp corner:
- Speaking of familiar faces, this compilation that I'd grabbed a couple months back finally made it onto my music player to go for a walk with me. "A 'DIY memory box' of sorts, it was assembled during early 2021, focusing on pieces submitted by Ontario-based solo artists... representing a wide spectrum of musical styles & sound dynamics - from minimalist, improvisation-based instrumental pieces & sound collages to majestic shoe-gaze & ambient/noise soundscapes."
- Meanwhile, keep an eye on Lina Allemano's bandcamp starting today and continuing for the following four Mondays for the unveiling of a "serial digital album" from Allemano & Nick Fraser, inviting a series of collaborators (Mira Martin-Gray, Bryan Qu, Karen Ng, and Nick Dunston) to remix, edit and process some of their trumpet + drums tracks, transforming them into intriguing new pieces of music.
It happened this week...
- ...on October 7, 2016 at The Tranzac's Main Hall (Tribute to the Life of Ken Aldcroft).
Ken Aldcroft's Convergence Ensemble - From the Hart-Land
- ...on October 7, 2017 at The Dupe Shop.
