A nice way to start the week...

Jazz.FM91 has announced their Top 10 Canadian Jazz releases for 2015. 

I'm thrilled to see two projects that I contributed photography to (Oscar, With Love and Movin' Forward) ranked at #1 and #2, respectively.
Congratulations to Kelly Peterson / Oscar Peterson Music and Robi Botos on this honour. It is certainly well deserved!

I'm currently working on updating my studio website with a new look for 2016, so stay tuned for news on that! :)

Happy Birthday, Oscar Peterson

There is something about Oscar's solo piano intro to Tonight that has just always made me relax.  It's strange because it's so lightening fast, but every single time I hear it, I just sort of exhale and let the music wash over me.  How lucky we are to have his genius to enrich our lives.  Thank you, Caftan Woman, for buying me this record all those years ago.

And friends, if you're not already following Oscar Peterson Music on Facebook, run don't walk.

Happy Birthday Oscar.
