Sunny Roseland is a Winnipeg-based Septet formed in 2014. The group is dedicated to playing authentic arrangements of classic jazz from the 1920's and 30's; music that is not only sophisticated, but necessarily danceable. Featured composers include Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Fletcher Henderson, Artie Shaw and more. The group also features multiple vocalists performing classics from Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, and Frank Sinatra. Available for private parties and corporate events, please visit our website for recordings!

I am very fortunate to play with Ron Paley in his Big Band. Ron is a fantastic musician, a wonderful person and I am thankful for all that he has done for me over the years. Thanks Ron!

This is a band I put together to play and explore standard jazz repertoire as well as to have a place to play more flugelhorn. The rest of the group is rounded out by well known Winnipeg musicians Aaron Shorr on guitar and Luke Sellick on Bass.

With this configuration of highly talented musicians we have managed to create a soft, melodic sound that fits nicely in small cafe type venues or sets a perfect mood for your organization’s private function.

I have been playing with The "B" Side Champs since the fall of 2014. Inspired by classic R&B of the 60's, the great music coming out of Stax Studios like Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett, Booker T, and the MG's. The Champs honour the past with energy and authenticity. Keep an eye on the Events page for where when you am catch this group next!

The Littleford/Carter Quintet was formed in the fall of 2011. In addition to playing mostly original music by both Michael Carter and myself, Andrew Littleford, the group is also interested in the music of composer's such as Lennie Tristano, Lee Kontiz and Warne Marsh. Both Michael and I are alumni of Brandon University and have recently returned to Manitoba from living and studying abroad in Toronto, ON and Boston, MA respectively.
