CD Release Event<br />
Dave Babcock and the Jump Orchestra<br />
with special guest Amos Garrett<br />
On this night, you better “jump to it” and get<br />
yourself down to the <strong>Yardbird</strong> <strong>Suite</strong> for a lively<br />
night of vintage jazz, jump blues and Afro Cuban<br />
rhythms, with Dave Babcock and his Jump<br />
Orchestra.<br />
This night will feature Dave on saxophone and<br />
vocals leading an 8-piece version of his Jump<br />
Orchestra along with special guest, guitar maestro<br />
Amos Garrett. Dave will be performing music from<br />
his latest studio recording entitled Jump To It. This<br />
long-awaited CD and release party will be “music<br />
to the ears” of many people who have been fans<br />
of Dave and his Jump Orchestra over the years.<br />
For those who don’t know, Dave led the first<br />
incarnation of his Jump Orchestra from 1990<br />
to 1994. The Jump, as they were often known,<br />
performed throughout Western Canada, with<br />
an unprecedented three and a half year house<br />
gig at Earl’s Tin Palace in Edmonton. They<br />
appeared many times on television and radio,<br />
and were featured on a CBC Variety recording<br />
called Jazz Notes in 1992. Also in that year, they<br />
won an ARIA Award as best jazz group, for the<br />
recording Both Feet.<br />
“Jump To It” was recorded locally at Edmontone<br />
Studio and features some of Alberta’s finest<br />
musicians, many of whom will be playing with<br />
Dave at the CD release. This self-produced<br />
album features several original compositions<br />
that showcase Dave’s smooth vocals and soulful<br />
saxophone in a variety of settings, from trio<br />
to 11-piece. Amos Garrett’s stellar guitar work<br />
appears on three of the tracks. “Famous” Amos<br />
needs little introduction to Edmonton audiences,<br />
being one of Canada’s most highly respected<br />
guitarists, in any musical style.<br />
