The band started in 2004 as a Django Reinhardt-inspired project, but soon found itself mixing gypsy jazz with klezmer, funk, classical music, indie rock, and bebop, writing its own tunes and playing to sold out crowds. The seven-piece Gypsophilia features Alec Frith, Nick Wilkinson and Ross Burns on guitars; Sageev Oore on piano and keyboards; Matt Myer on trumpet; Adam Fine on double bass and Gina Burgess on violin. Frith, Myer and Burns all play with the roots- Reggae band Verbal Warnin'; Myer is an ECMA and Juno winner with the Johnny Favorite Swing Orchestra; Fine plays regularly with Bend the River and improvising guitarist Jeff Torbert. Oore has been a featured soloist with Symphony Nova Scotia and a member of the Woodchoppers Association, while Burgess has also played with Symphony Nova Scotia and with the Maria Osende Flamenco Company. http://www.gypsophilia.org/ http://www.gypsophilia.org/images/posters/lrg_Seahorse%20Masquerade10_edit.jpg ____________________________________________________________________ URSULA JOHNSON ~ Instillation and performance Festival: Prismatic and Festival Nocturne [Interview live-in-studio: Monday October 11th/2010] Event Notice = October 16, 2010 Elmiet - Prismatic/Nocturne Roaming - culminating at Parade Square M’ikmaq visual artist, Ursula A.

Young songwriter/composer Jeff Torbert’s compositions unfold like stories, sharing style and spirit with other great storytelling musicians such as Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny. Sprouting from the wisdom and mentorship of master-musicians Jerry Granelli and David Tronzo, Jeff Torbert has embraced the improvised approach to a music career. This has taken Torbert from busking at the Halifax Farmer’s Market through a degree in classical guitar to forming original improv trio TFC, and working as an improviser and composer who has collaborated with Fred Frith, Simon Fisk, Gordon Grdina and Marilyn Lerner. Torbert won the 2006 Galaxie Rising Star Award and has recorded for CBC, and has produced a live concert film of TFC (directed by Jeff Wheaton). He continues to collaborate with a diverse group of artists including dancer Gwen Noah and singer/songwriter Rich Aucoin. Earlier in 2009, Torbert expanded upon his trio TFC by adding four more of the best and brightest of Halifax’s young and creative music scene, and recording his debut solo album, This Weather Honest, co-produced with Dave Christensen (multi-instrumentalist/composer/arranger – Jenn Grant, Hawksley Workman, Symphony NS). http://www.jefftorbert.ca/ ____________________________________________________________________ JERRY GRANELLI - 12:00 Noon Interview Creative Music Workshop studio = 1313 Hollis Street {Recorded out-of-studio) ~ Record Feature on DEOTS Radio = Monday September 6th/2010 - live-to-air feature of new Recording from Jerry solo. Halifax-based percussionist-composer Jerry Granelli grew up in San Francisco where he studied with Joe Morello and drummed for pianists Denny Zeitlin and Vince Guaraldi (he's on A Charlie Brown Christmas - on Fantasy Records and the Charlie Brown TV soundtracks). He pioneered world jazz fusion and electro-acoustic percussion during the 60's hippie era, established the music department at the Naropa Institute in Boulder in '76, and has had a continuous teaching career since then in Boulder, Seattle, Halifax and Berlin. In the early '80s he performed and recorded in a trio with Ralph Towner and Gary Peacock for ECM. He has recorded as a leader for Evidence, Intuition, ITM, Koch, Love Slave and other labels, and performed and recorded with longtime musical associates Mose Allison, Jay Clayton, Jane Ira Bloom, Glen Moore, Anthony Cox, Dave Friedman, and Jamie Saft, as well as projects with Bill Frisell, Robben Ford, Julian Priester, Charlie Haden, Kenny Garrett, and Buck 65. "Things are moving along for Jerry Granelli's epic drum record. Charles Austin, Jerry, and I just spent a few days in the studio mixing the tracks we recorded way back in April. Working with Jerry has been incredible -- I have never thought so hard about drums. Both Charles and I are learning so much. Jerry will be turning 70 just before the release of this record. In all those years of drumming, as far as I can tell, he's yet to release a solo record. I am so honoured that he agreed to do this on DIVORCE! And on vinyl!

Eileen Joyce's standing as one of Halifax's beloved and durable voices of the east coast is undeniably assured. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Eileen was inspired from a musical family. Her father and brother - both jazz drummers - played music all of the time. As a child, she would hear about her brother (now respected Canadian musician and conductor) playing in the bars. "I remember when I was four years old seeing my father on television. I thought it was so cool! That stuck with me!" Later, after singing as a soloist in school choirs, Joyce's musical thirst carried her in her teens to Toronto where she cultivated stage technique in top 40 bands and musical theatre. Her sound was woven out of a deep love of 'soul, jazz and r&b. Singer, songwriter, Eileen Joyce is well known as a vibrant entertainer and powerful vocalist in eastern Canada. Her honest, sensual and robust vocal style can be described to that of Etta James, and Dinah Washington with a touch of Janis Joplin. A vocal range from alto to soprano, this stylist sings from the heart with a passion for the blues. Eileen is no stranger to the hectic life of a professional musician. During the past eight years, Eileen Joyce has toured throughout Canada, and the western United States. As a producer she has created, founded and served as artistic director for the regionally based organization, The East Coast Blues Society, and published blues based articles in several Canadian music publications. Her annual concert series, Ladies in Blue, is in its fifth year in the region. WOODY WOODS ~ Born and raised in the inner city of Los Angeles, Woods is an author, and a self-taught composer, conductor, lyricist and pianist. Blessed with the opportunity to conduct Parade of the Chariots, from the movie, Ben Hur, during his final year in Junior High School, Woods became hooked on directing bands, choirs and orchestras. He also had one of his original arrangements performed by the school Jazz Band that year. Thus, the fire was lit, and there was no putting it out. Woods was originally a woodwind player specializing in tenor sax, flute and clarinet. He began to take the piano seriously when the pianist in his high school Jazz ensemble (The Jazz Executives) joined another band. Since the band could not play without a pianist, Woods starting playing the piano and never did get back to any of his woodwinds http://www.eileenjoyceband.com/ http://www.woodywoods.net/ ____________________________________________________________________ REUT REGEV & IGAL FONI ~ out-of-studio Interview Sunday, July 18th/2010) =[feature on-air presented: Monday July 19th/2010-DEOTS Radio] Born and raised in Israel, Trombonist, composer and bandleader Reut Regev started shaping her impressive reputation on the Jazz scene at a young age. At only five years old she was introduced to the piano, and then added the trombone to her repertoire at age thirteen. While in high school, she had the opportunity to play with some of Israel’s most creatively improvisational musicians, as well as perform at Israel’s top Jazz Festivals. Reut eventually decided to concentrate on her beloved trombone, and has proven to be a remarkably inspiring innovator. After serving in Israel’s army band as first Trombnonist and soloist, Reut made her way to NYC, joining her now husband, drummer Igal Foni. Reut has been living and creating music in NYC for over a decade, collaborating, recording and touring with some of the finest musicians in various fields, including Latin, Klezmer, Rock, Blues, Jazz, contemporary classical and improvised music.

The natural progression of our modern humanness & evolving creative musical intelligence. Forget categorizations by traditional labels and industry packaging; Jazz is the true expression of a "World Music" our biology and the mystery are sought with the aid of creative instruments; designed to give voice to our recognition of a "lux Vivens".
