Beats Walkin': Pedal steel-powered western-swing band, playing jazz, swing, country, pop and other genres of music.
Pedal steel guitarist, Jim Cohen, founded Beats Walkin' in 1994. In addition to his work with BW, he is much in demand for recording sessions and is a featured soloist at numerous steel guitar shows and conventions across the USA and Europe ...
Somewhere up in heaven, right this very moment, there's an incredible jam session taking place. The group assembled represents some of the most talented and creative individuals ever to inhabit the planet. Though most would find it impossible to fathom, jazz legend Charlie Parker is weaving his intricate horn lines amidst the soulful vocal of country superstar Patsy Cline. The rhythm section, led by the late drummer, Philly Joe Jones, is swingin' in a manner only possible among those who have been freed from all physical constraints. Every now and again, Elvis himself (who never did have such constraints) appears at the microphone for a little hubba-hubba. And for those of you still wondering what ever happened to Glenn Miller that fateful night his plane disappeared, the truth is now revealed -- he got offered the job as bandleader for this unlikely melange of musical talent and had to fly off in a hurry for the first gig! ...

From 1981 - 2003, the Big Band Trio played their unique brand of swing, jump and boogie combined with the smoothest three part vocals to enthusiastic crowds coast to coast. Robert Brodeur, guitar, Clark Brendon, upright bass and Paul Wainwright, sax were in constant demand at festivals and concerts. Their four cds are testament to their musicianship and continue to receive world wide airplay.
In 1981 Robert Brodeur, Clark Brendon and Paul Wainwright were searching for a way to play the music they love from the big band era, but in a more portable format.
And this is the result.
The smoothest three part vocal harmonies combined with their unique brand of swing, jump and boogie favourites have earned them the distinction of one of Canada's premiere swing groups.
Their three cds Wolf at the Door, Places to Go, People to See and Rent Party! are finely polished testaments to their skill and musicianship. Every show is delivered with humour and fun and their wardrobe is custom made with style to spare.
Contains a calendar, discography, biography, photos, and booking information.

The Blues Saracens:
Q: WHAT DO YOU PLAY? A: We play JAZZ. What kind? ALL sorts. We're pretty versatile. We can (and do) play everything from Traditional to Bop. Though we have an array of amazing soloists, we favor ensemble playing. There's something about HARMONY that seems to have been lost on jazz over the years...
Q: DO YOU DO ORIGINALS? A: Most assuredly! Fully half our book is original! Again, the originals run the gamut between swing and bop (and beyond).
Q: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND? A: Good question. I suppose our "base sound" is influenced by both the 52nd St. Swing of the late 30's and the early bop of the late 40's. Lionel Hampton's small groups are a big influence on our sound. So too are the "ensemble bop" recordings of Fats Navarro, Tad Dameron, and Dizzy Gillespie.
Q: WHAT'S YOUR "MISSION STATEMENT"? A: We endeavor to give jazz the popular appeal it has lost over the years. How? For one thing, by not taking ourselves too seriously. We're not trying to invent a new alternative to the wheel. NONE of the great jazz innovators did, either. We, like they, LOVE playing. The jazz press has "defined" jazz to the point where the majority of the population simply couldn't care less. Jazz has become far too sophisticated for its own good. That "raw edge" is what we're attempting to achieve. We play jazz AS IF it were rock and roll...In short, we have fun playing what we play. How does that translate to us playing your event? Simple. Unless you're an incorrigable stodgy square, you'll have fun too!
At the same time, we endeavor to maintain the highest musical standards. Every member of the band has a different background. Some have come up through the "jazz pipeline", others haven't. They all know their business. In the end, we hope to provide an alternative to today's abysmal pop-culture as well as an alternative to today's stiff and predictable jazz ...
