about

Searchin’, is my debut full length album featuring New York City based trumpet and vocal star Benny Benack III. I filled out the rhythm section with two of Canada’s greatest musicians of their respective generations, the celebrated Neil Swainson on bass, and JUNO-award winning Ernesto Cervini on drums. From my own generation, Canada’s vocal jazz star Caity Gyorgy also appears as a special guest in a duet with Benack.

This album features five of my original compositions each inspired by a different facet of my musical tastes. From the laid-back Calypso groove of Tune for Monty to the hard-hitting New York swing of Outbreak, or the delicate jazz waltz feel on Wonder, these compositions span a diverse selection from my musical palette. The album features two vocal numbers including my own re-interpretation of the classic Gershwin ballad, Someone to Watch Over Me featuring the warm vocals of Benack, and a vocal duet filled with scatting, trading and playful improvisations between Caity Gyorgy and Benack on East of the Sun.

Thank you so much for your support of me as an artist and for purchasing the album! Your support is so much appreciated and means a lot to an independent artist such as myself.

Enjoy the music!

Anthony
