Everything about this recording is elegant – the program, the performances, the liner notes, the jacket ~ Patricia Abbot, anacrusis, Fall 2004
With fellow Canadian, Brian Dickenson attentive at the piano, Kenny Wheeler's distinctive flugelhorn sounds still more eloquent. The music on Still Waters is graceful and beautifully balanced, technically accomplished and pervaded by controlled emotion. - Julian Cowley, The Wire
Four innovative acoustic works played by the excellent Canadian ensemble Arraymusic.

To experience fully the music of Rudolf Komorous, one has only to listen attentively. The emotional language of the music is readily apparent and on the surface.

Strathcona String Quartet perform varied works by composer George Andrix.

Structural Damage (Andrew Czink, piano & percussion; John Oliver, guitars) perform Live at the Lux Theatre of the Western Front (Vancouver) with special guests Douglas Schmidt, accordion, and Giorgio Magnanensi, DJ/electronics.

Srul Irving Glick's (1934 – 2002) musical depictions of Jewish life in his Suites Hébraïques are particularly vivid examples of his chamber music. Glick wrote for many other genres, including art song, choral and symphonic music, but these six suites contain much of his very finest work.
