ABOUT THE SHOW:

Jazz Jams are an essential part of any major jazz or music festival. Festivals unite players from all over the Globe and once they’re in town they just wanna play! On, Saturday, July 22 the Randy Stirtzinger trio will be the TD NJF house trio leading the jam session and they will be eagerly awaiting musicians and singers to come and sit in. First come, first serve.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Doug Mundy, a long-time Niagara resident, began studying piano at 10 years of age concentrating on the Royal Conservatory of Music repertoire. At age 14, Doug began experimenting with improvisation, mainly playing around with simple blues progressions and pop/rock solos. By age 16, Doug was already performing in rock, blues and country ensembles around the Niagara and Hamilton Regions.

Blues improvisation led to the formal study of music (and history) at Mohawk College, York University and Brock University. Doug has studied jazz harmony, arranging, form and analysis and counterpoint. At York University, Doug had the privilege of studying with Canadian jazz great Don Thompson as well as seminars with Dr. Oscar Peterson.

Doug is currently one of the most in-demand musicians in the Niagara area. He is active accompanying vocalists, leading his duo and trio, working as a sideman on gigs and in the studio, as well as performing solo piano at various functions. Doug has recently completed a tour of New Zealand working with a collection of the country’s finest Jazz musicians.

Doug will be joined by:

• Clark Johnston on Bass
• Kevin Lipishak on Drums
