Hello everyone - it's been a while since I updated....been super busy...the quartet went down to Rossland BC on Jan. 25/26 and played at 'The Old Fire Hall'. It was a great old building, converted to a wine and tapas bar.....great atmosphere and we left with a great response from the music fans of Rossland. It's a beautiful town and we are looking forward to going back to perform again.
Other news is that my disc was in the top ten (including some weeks at the number one spot) at CJSW in Calgary and I thank them for playing my music.

11.16.07 | Dubyk's debut a jazz experience worth the wait...from Roger Levesque, Edmonton Journal
Read what Roger Levesque wrote about the new CD on Nov. 16 in the Edmonton Journal...
Dubyk's debut a jazz experience worth the wait
Roger Levesque, Freelance
Pick up a copy of Jerrold Dubyk's new independently produced The Way You See It (CD Baby distribution) and you'll hear one of the most accomplished, varied, nicely paced jazz debuts around.
That's not a big surprise if you've heard the local tenor saxophonist perform recently, especially given his dozen years of experience playing professionally.
Dubyk admits he's been a bit tardy in putting out a disc, but it was worth the wait for this selection of intriguing, original and contemporary jazz. The reedman explains the eclectic set of tunes came both by chance and by design.
"I was writing in such a condensed period. But I also manipulated things by adding harmonic and rhythmic devices and different time signatures and chord changes into the tunes."
He says it's even more fun taking on the same material in live performance.
"Now that the guys in the band know the tunes better, they're bringing their own flavour to it and that's what I want when I play live."
American Jon Eshelman, who plays piano and B3 organ on the disc, is a pal from Dubyk's time in the masters program at New Jersey's Rutgers University.
Since Dubyk's return in 2005, he's been teaching at the Victoria School of Performing and Visual Arts and planning the album with an eye to generating touring opportunities.
11.13.07 | "The Way You See It" now available at eMusic.com
The disc is now downloadable at eMusic.com.
Thanks to the long tail! - Jerrold
11.09.07 | CDs at CDBaby now in!
A new stock of CDs from CDBaby.com are now available.
11.02.07 | Playing Edmonton and CDs at CDBaby..
First of all, thanks to everyone who came out to see the jazz gig in Saskatoon. It was great to be there again. The Bassment is a great venue to perform in and the people there are fantastic. Thanks also to everyone who bought my disc. I hope you are enjoying it.
We are getting ready for our Edmonton show on Nov. 16 at the Yardbird Suite. I'm really looking forward to playing for friends and family - for some of you, it's been a long time since I saw you, I can't wait.
CD sales are going great at CDBaby.com - in fact, the first run from CDBaby sold out, but there are now more in stock. You may download a digital copy from CDBaby.com or iTunes if you wish. Drop me a line and let me know how you are....jerrold
10.14.07 | ...wow, was Calgary a lot of fun...
We had a great time this past weekend in Calgary playing at the Beat Niq. Both nights were sold out and many CDs left with people to take home. Thanks to everyone for coming out and checking out the band. We are off to Saskatoon next weekend to play the Bassment...the band is looking ahead and we are excited to get going again....If you are in the area, come out and hear some music. See you soon. - jerrold
06.12.07 | "The Way You See It" will be released in the fall of 2007
At last, my first disc of original music that I recorded in January is now gone to press and I will be releasing it in the fall. I had a fantastic experience putting it together. I found out in mid-December '06 that I received an Alberta Foundation for the Arts recording grant and the session with Barry Allen at Homestead Studios was a great time. My great friend/pianist from New Jersey, Jon Eshelman agreed to come out and play on the recording and we had a great week together. Tyler Hornby came up from Calgary and Jeff Johnson played bass...both of them dove right into my music and sound fabulous...thanks to them. A couple of tracks from the session are up on the "listen" link. I hope you enjoy - Jerrold
