Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

March 1, 2007 | String Theory Collective

Great opportunity for some live acoustic string jazz north of the (US) border in Toronto, base for the String Theory Collective. Jeff Cardey, the group's mandolinist brings to our attention this talented quartet featuring in addition, tenor guitar, guitar and double bass. They specialize in tasty arrangements of 1920's and 30's classics,swing,ragtime, and more.

Their website features some quality samples of their playing. Without a doubt, this crew is fully capable of a very marketable commercial recording; we certainly hope a CD project is in the works. Take some time to listen to the MP3 page, such classics as "I'll See you in My Dreams," "Autumn Leaves," and "S.G.B." These fellows play well, sling some pretty instruments (Michael Heiden!), and certainly sound like they enjoy each other.
