Guido Basso - A flugelhornist, trumpeter, and conductor,
Guido was born in Montreal. After playing in dance and
show bands in his teens, he toured throughout North
America with Pearl Bailey and Louis Bellson's orchestra. He
settled in Toronto and worked as leader and music director
on many TV and radio productions, including two CBC TV
series on the big band era - In The Mood and Bandwagon.
He organized big band concerts at the CNE with Dizzy
Gillespie, Quincy Jones, Woody Herman and Benny
Goodman. His recordings include several instrumental
discs and many jazz CDs with the Boss Brass, Singers
Unlimited, The Hi Lo's and others. He frequently takes to the
stage as leader of The Guido Basso dance band and the
Guido Basso jazz quintet. In 1994 he was awarded the Order
of Canada.
Peter Appleyard - The career of legendary jazz artist Peter
Appleyard spans more than five decades. He has performed
with some of the world's greatest musicians, among them
Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony
Bennett, Duke Ellington & Oscar Peterson. He was the most
played artist on FM radio in the 70s and 80s, while his award-
winning TV jazz series, "Peter Appleyard Presents" was
broadcast across Canada from 1978 to 1981.
Terry Clarke - In 1970 Clarke settled in Toronto, at first
working with Lenny Breau, and quickly became the city's
leading studio drummer, noted for his versatility in jazz and
rock settings. Concurrently, he played jazz in local clubs
and concerts, and on radio and TV, as a member of the Boss
Brass and of small groups led by Don Thompson, Ed Bickert,
Jim Galloway, Sonny Greenwich, Moe Koffman, Peter Leitch,
Rob McConnell, Ted Moses, and others. He was also heard
in local clubs backing US musicians including Jim Hall, Thad
Jones, Barney Kessel, Jay McShann, Don Menza, Blue
Mitchell, Art Pepper, and Frank Rosolino.
Joe Sealy - Sealy has written scores and/or songs for TV
and film, and several themes for jazz group. Of the latter,
Sealy has recorded Early Morning Blues, Dumpling, Clear
Vision, Playa Caliente, Fat Cat and Distant Shores. An
efficient jazz pianist whose style continues to show the
influence of his early models, Oscar Peterson and Horace
Silver, he has accompanied several leading US musicians in
their Canadian appearances, including Buddy DeFranco,
Milt Jackson, Sonny Stitt, and Joe Williams at Pepe's in
Halifax. In 1979 he toured in the USA with David Clayton-
Thomas and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Dave Young - In recognition of his remarkable career in
jazz, Dave Young was honoured at “The 2003, 2004, 2005,
and 2006 National Jazz Awards” as “Jazz Bassist of the
Year” . The award was richly deserved, and is a tribute to
Dave Young's highly developed musical sensibility,
versatility and life-long commitment to Jazz.
There is no doubt that Winnipeg born bassist Dave Young
possesses artistic soul, and musical skill in abundance. His
international career has made him a much sought after jazz
bassist, performing with many of the world's greatest jazz
musicians, as well as with his own Jazz Sextet, Quartet and
Trio .
