A couple Fridays ago, I subbed for a friend of mine at the Evolution of Gospel rehearsal. He was here, at the Pero Lounge, playing bass for the Taurean Clarke Quartet. Taurean is a friend I met a Humber College the second time I went through the program. I've played with him once, and I have bumped into him a few times as we both play charity events for the Regent Park area.
He is a great pan player. He's completed a B.A. in Music at Humber College/TRU on the pan. To me that blows my mind as I can only imagine what kind of talent it takes to complete a world class jazz program on steel pans.
He has a cd out, which I own a copy of, called "A Pannist's Dream" which is pretty good. It's definitely different than the usual music I listen to, but that's why I really like it. Quality can come in all forms.
Here is a clip from the show from a couple Fridays ago:
