Ali write:
"Barrie has a remarkably attentive jazz scene at Fitzy's (Crab
Shack)
-- cats who clap for solos and recognize tunes... it was a pleasure
to
play there. I always get a little apprehensive the farther out of
urban centres I wander (figuring I'm always at risk of being
strung up if
the music's too big city weird) --
but Barrie's scene is heavy.I think a big
shout out needs
to go out to Robin Munro, who runs the Barrie jazz fest,
books Fitzy's with talent I was honored to be a part of,
and has done so
much for jazz education in that region.
In short -- YAY BARRIE!"
