Sounds Like"Tim Posgate is a Canadian guitarist who has demonstrated the kind of diverse idiosyncratic mindset in the past ten years that places him in the same musical vicinity as Bill Frisell."

-John Kelman, Allaboutjazz.com

Let’s see: trumpet, tenor sax, banjo, and tuba? Tunes that smash modern jazz, klezmer, Celtic, bluegrass, and New Orleans styles together with cracked abandon? On paper, Banjo Hockey sounds like a little bit of a mess, but in practice Tim Posgate has cracked the code to a new form of jazz, one that’s wildly creative but that also has plenty of populist appeal. Posgate, a Toronto guitarist who turns to his trusty banjo for most of this disc’s 11 tunes, has a keen ear for melody and an even better one for supportive collaborators. On Banjo Hockey, he scores big points for enlisting jazz legend Howard Johnson, a veteran tuba and baritone sax player who’s worked with the Gil Evans Orchestra, Taj Mahal, and the Band, among many others. But the other Hornband horns—Lina Allemano on trumpet and Quinsin Nachoff on tenor sax and clarinet—are equally attuned to their leader’s playful, genre-bending ways. Whether channelling the spirit of Louis Armstrong and friends on “Big Top Blues”, adding Eastern European spice to a funky hoedown on “Moosamin Eh!”, or sounding like a tiny big band on “Going to the Island”, these four make smart music that’s also unusually friendly. In fact, it’s hard to listen to this disc without cracking a smile; it’s a rough-hewn yet highly sophisticated treat from start to finish.

Nachoff was the winner of Canada Council’s Jazz ID Competition as well as being a semi-finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk Tenor Sax Competition in Washington D.C.

With only three horns and guitar/banjo this unique quartet creates a mélange of sound that will entertain a friendly listener with it’s compositions drawing heavily on jazz, folk and bluegrass influences.

These three Canadians have all released numerous Cds as leaders as well as working with Joe Lovano, Don Byron, Steve Lacy, Kenny Wheeler, Mark Helias, Jim Black, and Jane Bunnett among others. Howard Johnson continues to perform with his popular tuba ensemble Gravity.

Tim-

Couldn't agree with you more about Bill Evan's "Soulgrass" CD. Very hip writing and playing. Best of luck with your new recording.

Tim,

I played your "In the future of your dream" cd a while ago, and I let the neighbours hear the music, too that time (I normally respect people's right to choose their own soundscape, and don't force things on them), because the boys next door had been arguing and screaming all afternoon and I didn't know what to do about it, after I had been over at their place and checked that nobody was seriously hurt. Poor kids were alone at home, first day of summer break, so they fought over the computer, and chased each other from one end to the other of the place. When their mother finally came home, I didn't want to eavesdrop on their conversation with her, so I thought some loud but sensitive music was necessary.

Hope you are doing fine,

Maria Lj

A big thanks to all my friends... I just went over 10,000 listens on my player. I've added a fifth tune to my player, an arrangement of Scott Henderson's "Harpoon", the leader and guitar player of Tribal Tech.

Best wishes,

Steve
