With this episode of One Man’s Jazz falling on July 1, Canada Day, I’ve selected several tracks from some of my favourite Canadian artists and bands and wave the Maple Leaf. There are also some new releases explored too: keyboardist extraordinaire Benoit Delbecq with a very special quartet with Mark Turner, John Hébert and Gérald Cleaver, drummer Devin Gray’s declaration against gun violence in his “Melt All The Guns”, Tatvamasi from Poland, guitarist Alex Levine, and the raunchy Irish trio of saxophonist Adam Nolan.
