Shine Climax Jazz Band 1979
For 25 years between 1971 and 1996 I was the cornettist of Toronto's Climax Jazz Band. Here in 1979 we play and also feature vibraphonist Peter Appleyard at one of the shows he hosted in Albert's Hall in the Brunswick Hotel on Bloor Street West in Toronto.
Our band played there 6 nights a week between 1971 and 1976. We had left for another location in town and between 1977 and 1979 William C. Cooke produced a total of more than 75 twenty three minute jazz shows in Albert's Hall.
In the band: Geoff Holmes trombone, Jim Buchmann clarinet, Bob Erwig cornet, Jacques Vincken banjo, Chris Daniels bass and Max Littlejohns drums.
