Release Notes:
Formed in October 1998 to record an improvisational
set in Montreal's Maison de la Culture Frontenac
(which would result in the album, Year of the
Tiger, released in 1999), the Dave Turner Quartet
brought together some of Canada's most experienced
jazz musicians. Saxophonist Dave Turner and pianist
Jean Beaudet formed the home-town core of this
group, aided by Toronto musicians Barry Elmes on
drums and Steve Wallace on bass. The resulting
sound was heavily steeped in bop and swing, with
the bulk of the songs featuring Turner's
compositions and arrangements.
