HGBS Blue Records is proud to announce the March 31, 2023 release of Septology – The Black Forest Session by the newly assembled all-star ensemble, the Canadian Jazz Collective. The CJC is fronted by three of Canada’s most acclaimed and accomplished jazz treasures: saxophonist Kirk MacDonald, guitarist Lorne Lofsky and trumpeter Derrick Gardner. Augmented by clarinetist Virginia MacDonald and supported by a noted rhythm section comprised of pianist Brian Dickinson, bassist Neil Swainson and drummer Bernd Reiter, this innovative septet takes a collaborative approach to the presentation of original Canadian jazz, and blends the unique artistic visions of the leaders into one creative and cohesive voice.

David Grimes, David Jaeger, Larry Lake, and James Montgomery met at the University of Toronto in the early 70s and formed The Canadian Electronic Ensemble in 1971. The group was one of the first in Canada–if not the very first–to experiment with electronic synthesizer music, and to this day remains one of the longest-running electronic groups in North America.
