Ian McDougall is a legendary jazz trombonist whose name is known internationally among traditional jazz aficionados. He is a Canadian ambassador for jazz, having performed in Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Holland, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, and throughout the United States. Well known through his playing in Rob McConnell’s Boss Brass of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, Ian went on to produce six CDs as leader of smaller ensembles. Ian is known not only for his unique trombone sound and style, but also for his compositions, both jazz and classical, and for his mentoring skills. He received the Order of Canada in July of 2008, and resides in Victoria where he is still active as a performer, writer, and teacher. In March of 2012 he and eleven great jazz musicians played three nights at the Cellar Jazz Club in Vancouver. All three nights were sold out – and they were recorded. This album is the result of these great musicians' playing and composing, and the new CD was released on December 1 2012, at two sold out concerts in Victoria at Hermann's Jazz Club
