Since I just moved from Victoria B.C. to Edmonton Alberta—-in the midst of the wind and snow—I thought it would be a good idea to explore the Alberta jazz scene.

I guarantee you’ll hear some great music in this episode! Some of them are jazz legends who came from Alberta, and others are local heroes. Some are up and coming.

Some famous jazz artists will also leave their mark in this episode. You’ll hear Jaco Pastorious, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Jim Hall, Red Mirxhell, and Plas Johnson.

Alberta artists I play include Big Miller, P.J. Perry, Bob Tildsley, Joni Mitchell, Edmonton Jazz Ensemble w. Sean McAnaly, Joel Gray, Tommy Banks, Bobby Cairns, Jan Randall, Al Muirhead, Mike Rud, and Mallory Chipman.
