Artist: Many People
Songs: [excerpts from two sets]
Recorded at The Tranzac's Southern Cross Lounge (Karen Ng presents), October 27, 2022.
I think "Many People" was at first merely meant as a description of this agglomeration of friends assembled by Karen Ng, but we might as well treat it as a de facto band name. (It turns out that every once in a while, everyone you invite out for a gig is able to make it, when you were only expecting some fraction of them to be able!)
With eight (and later nine) musicians playing, it was unsurprising that there were some crowded honk'n'squeak blastoffs, but for the most part, folks gave each other space, stepping back to let shifting smaller sub-groups stand out and letting the ensemble sections work as texture-knitting rather than volume competition.
The full group consisted of:
- Mark Ballyk - drums
- Ted Crosby - reeds
- Madeleine Ertel - trumpet
- Colin Fisher - guitar
- Andrew Furlong - double bass
- Naomi McCarroll-Butler - sax/flute
- Kaelin Murphy - trumpet/contra-alto clarinet
- Karen Ng - reeds
- Jay Hay - sax/flute (2nd set)
