To understand the soul and legend of Judi Singh, this track gives a powerful example. With her trio of piano genius Bill Emes and bassist Geo at age 23, they went into the studio and created spontaneous arrangements of 5 songs in a row in 1 take.

As a young bassist in Edmonton, I didn't think I would ever experience anything quite like this again. Sending my love and gratitude to them and honouring their memory and restoring this for future music lovers. Watch for the full documentary on Judi Singh (in filming and editing now for future release).

Rick Wilkins was awarded both the Order of Canada and the Queen’s Jubilee Medal in recognition of his genius over more than five decades on the international music scene.
hommage à Robert Farnon
Internationally celebrated composer arranger Robert Farnon was known as the "Governor" . OP, Quincy Jones, Nelson Riddle and dozens of legends sing his praise.
Dr. Catherine Wilson is one of Canada's true musical gems. An accomplished pianist and artistic director of Ensemble Vivant, she is the co-founder of Euterpe: Music is the Key.
Mishel Schwartz artist statement from her website
“ My art is a way to pay homage to the relentless gifts of the natural world… a way to document its inimitable presence in our lives, even when we may be too busy to acknowledge it. We owe everything to nature in all its many magical forms— the genuine, organic and subtle way it inhabits our senses and reminds us we are alive.”

about Clay Tyson: "He likes to write a song a day. He can build you a bicycle from scratch to your specs. He knows the streets, and has travelled.
