Baritone Madness was formed by Pat Belliveau, Keith O’Rourke, and Gareth Bane to bring the magic of the baritone saxophone to audiences across North America. A highly unique configuration, the quintet is comprised of three baritone saxophonists as leads – each highly accomplished musicians, supported by a rhythm section of double bass (Kodi Hutchinson) and drums (Tyler Hornby). These players have captivated audiences through their inventive originals and thoughtful arrangements of music by Gerry Mulligan, Pepper Adams, and Hamiett Bluiett that complement the low range of the baritone sax. As a group they have been playing together for enthusiastic audiences since they began in February of 2016.
In summer 2019, they took to the road to share their new music with fans at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, TD Ottawa Jazz Festival, and TD Edmonton International Jazz Festival. Mid-September saw the release of their self-titled album. They earned the #1 spot on the Canadian jazz radio charts for three months straight, resulting in #5 nationally for all of 2019. The album has seen a host of rave reviews including a full page in Montreal’s Le Devoir and feature play with interview on ICI Musique, and climbed the US campus charts reaching #7.
Achievements: Northern Quarter had quite the amazing 2019. As well as the YYC Music Award nomination, the group were invited to be filmed at Union Hall in Edmonton as part of The Moment, a yet-to-be-released TV show profiling the best of Albertan music. The Moment
The band did their first gigs in Calgary at The Blind Beggar, opening for Erwin Vesper, to highly appreciative crowds.
A Canada Day appearance on the top deck of a converted London Bus in Canmore (PD3) was a particular highlight for the group. This party style event is now turning into a tradition!
In addition, Northern Quarter opened for Shred Kelly at artsplace in Canmore in September. Being big fans of the band, this was an amazing experience, in the middle of a snowstorm!
Also they had an incredible night in the unusual loft location of Canmore's BLAKE bar for their annual Industry Night
With a new album being recorded and dates at Canmore Folk Festival and Banff Mountain music festival to be confirmed, 2020 is shaping up to be even more exciting!

Known for her pure but powerful voice, Deanne Matley has a way with a vocal line. She has the ability to swing hard, emote softly, and connect with her audience. Deanne is a flexible performer in both English and French, who’s as comfortable in front of a big band or on a festival stage as she is singing with a trio in an intimate club space. Deanne has shared the stage with jazz greats including Larry Koonse, Brian Lynch, Matt Catingub, Tommy Banks and Al Kay. She’s featured in the September 2018 edition of Downbeat Magazine, is a featured artist on ICI Musique (CBC Quebec), and was a 2018 nominee as the “Industry Person of the Year” for the YYC Music Awards.
Deanne studied at the Berklee College of Music, the Banff Centre for the Arts, and the Stanford Jazz Institute both before and after launching her career as a jazz vocalist. Deanne’s latest and most ambitious album, “Because I Loved,” an emotion-driven combination of original songs and exquisite, heartfelt jazz and pop covers, came out in May 2018. Distributed by Distribution Select, the album features well-known Montreal artists Ranee Lee (vocals), Jim Doxas (drums), Paul Shrofel (piano) and Adrian Vedady (bass), joining Deanne in an artistic tour-de-force.
Recent Accomplishments:
Released 5th studio album, “Because I Loved” though Distribution Select in May 2018.
Received funding from Alberta Foundation for the Arts, FACTOR and Calgary Arts Development to complete the album.
Had a full-page interview in the September 2018 edition of Downbeat Magazine.
Earned additional press coverage in the Toronto Music Report, Journal de Montreal, Calgary Herald, YYScene, and more.
Is a featured artist on ICI Musique (CBC Quebec).
Held radio interviews on ICI Musique, CBC Homerun, CKMN, CKVL, Bleu Jazz, CKRL, and CJSW.
Performed on CTV Calgary News at Noon.
“Because I Loved” reached #6 on the Canadian national jazz charts.

Performed at the 2018 Festival International De Jazz De Québec, Québec City, and the 2018 Une Nuit de Serenades Le Festival des Chansons d'Amour, in Chalabre, France.
Community Engagement:
Deanne has a positive and motivated outlook on music. Her unique ability to motivate and inspire budding musicians is shown through her dedication to community-building. She is a strong believer that personal success is coupled with encouraging the success of others. Deanne has opened up performance opportunities across Calgary, organized many ‘women in jazz’ concerts that raised funds for charity, and is a mentor to aspiring artists of all ages.
While she does give her all in her own musical performance and career, she is utterly selfless in building the Calgary music community. She has become a powerful role model for aspiring musicians, singers and songwriters, not only in jazz, but across many genres. Beginning in 2009, Deanne led and hosted the weekly Café Koi Open Mic for 7 years, which continues to give singers the unique opportunity to share their talents with audiences, improve their abilities, and engage in feedback from industry. She inspires people to perform in public and offers encouragement to further pursuing a musical path.
In January 2016, she started a public, house concert-type experience called The Listening Room. Artists to grace this stage include Kenna Burima (Woodpigeon) and Simon TJ (Hello Moth, Jocelyn Alice), for example. Due to her hard work and the success of the shows, this monthly singer-songwriter series at Lolita’s Lounge grew into a collective with a second monthly series featuring jazz vocalists. Now, The Listening Room offers a series of workshops for budding singers that cover a wide variety of topics such as songwriting, self-esteem on stage, Latin rhythms, and sound-checking essentials.
Another aspect of her kindness is her annual gift to the Calgary Arts Academy. She offers a grant program for students, with the goal of encouraging youth showing an interest in music. Criteria are also based on financial need or special circumstances, so it makes a significant impact on a child’s life and future every year. Grant information is available at: http://www.caaschool.com/for-parents/deanne-matley-grant/
What separates Deanne Matley from the pack is her continual search to learn and discover, to stretch her own boundaries and to grow. It’s a marvel to witness this endlessly curious singer, who is not content to rest on her considerable laurels, preferring instead the excitement of new challenges and intriguing opportunities. She shares this passion with the Calgary music community.

Achievements:
Al Muirhead has long been an iconic figure on the Canadian jazz scene. The trumpeter, composer, arranger, sideman has been making listeners take notice for longer than jazz fans might realize. Born in Regina in 1935, he was playing in the Regina Symphony and dance bands by age 12. In his teens, Muirhead began to take notice of greats such as Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, and Charlie Parker. While Muirhead’s playing is infused with the indelible influence of jazz giants, his flowing, melodic sound is his own — and has become influential in its own right. Muirhead has worked with legends such as Guido Basso, Diana Krall, Paul Anka, Rosemary Clooney, Frank Mills and Dizzy Gillespie. In 2013, he was honoured with the WCMA Heritage Awardfor his mentorship and industry-building. In 2015, he earned the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival’s Special Recognition Award. A highlight is the release of his first-ever solo album “It’s About Time,” that was nominated for a 2016 JUNO Award. Muirhead unleashes melodies that are incredibly inventive and utterly timeless. Now at 83 years old and four more albums under his belt, he shows no sign of slowing down!
Recent Accomplishments:
Trumpeter Al Muirhead is excited to present his most intriguing project to date; Undertones. Recorded in mid February 2018 at award-winning OCL Studios, the album features Muirhead on the rare bass trumpet with his new Canadian Quintet. The album highlights musicians he has admired over the years, including Canadian jazz heavyweights Kelly Jefferson (sax), Reg Schwager (guitar), Neil Swainson (bass) and Ted Warren (drums).
Released on September 28, 2018, Undertones features Muirhead on the rate bass trumpet – an instrument on which he is one of the few masters in the world.
The album was #1 in Canada and hit #14 in the US on jazz charts. Radio play continues into Spring 2019 across the continent.
Undertook a full festival tour in Summer 2018 to the major Canadian jazz festivals, which is rare for Western Canadian artists: Montreal, Niagara, Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton, Regina, and Saskatoon.
