Two decades since Clifford "Kid" Bastien's passing in Feb 2003 — the music plays on!

> Kid Bastien immigrated to Canada in 1962 after a stint in New Orleans. Bastien, born Bastin, grew up in London, England, then emigrated to Canada, beginning his marathon Grossman’s run in 1968.

Sad and belated news from Jack Vincken today to hear about the Jan 2nd passing of Chris Daniels and the curtain now closed on a #Toronto institution and Canadian #tradjazz legend, the #ClimaxJazzBand.

But the music carries on…

Got another head nod from a grizzled old jazz man during my solo today. Feels good. #trombone #TradJazz #jazz

Zuzu's Hot Five played our last dance of the season last night. We're taking a few months off to minimize the amount of time inside with strangers. It was for a UVA group and there was a huge number of people in the beginner lesson. Looking forward to the spring!

Few things in life give me as much immediate satisfaction as when I take a solo in my jazz band, and a grizzled old man shouts "yeah!" and nods at the end. #TootToot #TradJazz

Finally picked up California Feetwarmers' latest, it's very good of course
