Moving day is coming fast... I'm moving to Berlin on December 30th. I'm very much looking forward to setting up shop in a new place. Plans are being set for some new projects over there including:
-a new quartet led by saxophonist Peter Van Huffel
-a new trio led by vibrophonist Thierry Gomar featuring pianist Beniot Delbecq
-a collaboration with Swiss trombonist Samuel Blazer
-a quartet with Belgian vocalist Sophie Tassignon and saxophonist Suzanne Folk
I'm also planning to assemble a new quartet with trumpeter Tom Arthurs, drummer Steve Arguelles, and Benoit Delbecq.

I will continue to keep you posted as these things develop. In the meantime, if you're in Montreal, here's a few things coming up:

Saturday, November 22nd at l'envers: I will give a solo performance followed by a trio set with Philippe Lauzier and Robbie Kuster.

sUPER LITTLe will be playing at Metropolis on December 11th. We're opening for Karkwa.

I hope to see you out there. It might be the last chance to hear these bands in Montreal for a while.
All the best!
Miles

On November 12th Thom Gossage (excellent drummer, extremely imaginative composer, all around good guy) will be releasing his new album called IMPULSI. This is his 4th disc with "Other Voices" and probably the most progressive, confident and unapologetic one yet. After nearly 10 years of playing together, this band is an extremely well-oiled machine. We seldom play in Montreal, so don't miss it!

In other, less interesting news. I turned 28 today. It feels like I'm one year older than 27 and I think I might be prepared to turn 30 in about 2 years.

A duo Recording with the wonderful French pianist Benoit Delbecq is nearing completion. We spent a day recording at Sequenza Studios [Montrueil] on May 10th. This recording will be availiable for downloads sometime this winter.

TONIGHT ... COMMON THREAD CONCERT ON CBC RADIO 2
